Guest Darrell Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Robin, is this in someone's collection you know? Or one you found on-line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Lumsden Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Robin, is this in someone's collection you know? Or one you found on-line?Darrell.It's mine. I've had it for 20-odd years. The only DK in Gold I've ever owned.I also have a standard '1' marked Deschler DK in Silver which is identical in every way to this Gold one.The Gold DK seems to be a standard Deschler, but with a Zimmermann pin mark.Could Deschler have sold stocks to Zimmermann?Who knows?

Robin Lumsden Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Is there any sign of the hinge and pin being replaced ?Mike.None at all. The whole thing is untouched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I like it because it does not "fit the mold" ...who knows , maybe the pin snapped off while being worn and the Zimmermann factory did the repair. Or ..could there be more like it out there ? That would prove that Deschler did sell stocks to Zimmermann. I'll keep my eyes open for another now . Whatever the case ..it's a nice one ...I can see why you kept it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
