Paul C Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 When I first saw this bar I had several question and many doubts. Can anyone spot what is wrong with this bar?
saschaw Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 This one came up before on eBay, sold for about 1,7k Euro - and a discussion, I think here but cannot find it, said it is NOT a good one. The peacetime RAO4 doesn't fit to the WFO3bX, for example, but I think there were some more things. Buy it for the piece's price and you bought good, any cent more may be wastet money, in my humble opinion.
Guest Rick Research Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Oh, I could write an epic on THIS monstrosity. But education first.Continue!
Schießplatzmeister Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Hello folks:The ribbons look like they were made yesterday. This bar would be very pretty in the dark with a UV light!The hinges for the pins and pin catches are not of the proper style for a Godet mount of this period. Also, I would expect a gray backing.Further, there would be not legitimate reason that the EKII was "added" to the bar, therefore, the pin hinges should be at the end of the bar, not starting where they do.It would be a much shorter discussion to talk about what is "right" with this bar (not much!).It was put together very recently!Best regards,"SPM"
sambolini Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Hi,Of course there's also the infamous "flat" bottomed ribbon mounting.Regards,Sam
Paul C Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 RAO4 + WF3bX = That was my first thought.
