Dietrich Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hi Martin,it's either a very early one or a very late (i.e. post war!) one. It is nearly impossible to tell from the pictures but I stick my neck out and say "early". Reason: brass, nice ring ring finish, patina.Better pictures of the lower portion of the 3 o'clock arm would be very helpfull. "800" stamped?Dietrich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dietrich Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Martin,Nimmergut COA's are not always what one hopes they are...so that alone really should not make one buy or not buy a piece.Better pictures really would be helpfull!Dietrich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
