Richard Gordon Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Just like to share with you another new addition and another first...this nice L59. It's a bit of a sleeper. Underneath the tarnish it looks to be really nice condition. You can see that the core retains it's flat black finish with a few rubbed areas.

ekhunter Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Very nice. For some reason, you don't see many pinback variations of Rettenmaiers'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas 5 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Nice late periode L59 . later pieces usually have no 'extra' marks .Do you have a closeup shot of that dot type . Douglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Very nice. For some reason, you don't see many pinback variations of Rettenmaiers'.Hmmmm,are you sure? I've got only a "square" screwback but an "S"(different pin) and a "square" pinback!Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying from a personal market perspective over the past few years, I've seen the screwbacks for sale over the pinbacks at about a 3 to 1 ratio. Not saying they are rare, but the pinbacks aren't floating around out there like the screwbacks are. Edited October 24, 2007 by ekhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I'm far away of having anything!!!! But I try my best..........My own observations are different to yours-I've seen more pinbacks than screwbacks at the market.But anyway-having all is nearly impossible!Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just making my observations from the forums and dealers sites. It's funny how the observations are so different. I was recently telling someone on another forum about the fact that all of the W&L's that I've come across lately were unmarked pinbacks, and he said all that he had been seeing were L/55 marked screwbacks. Weird! Anyway, you do know you have a great advantage over many collector's with your location, and also that uncanny bloodhound like ability to uncover these jewels. And true, having all is nearly impossible, but you've managed to put a pretty good dent in it anyway, and isn't it the very quest to have them all that keeps us all going?
