Hi Don,

Its a reproduction.

Handle wrong, shape of body etc.

I would say 1960-70's.

I believe these are all made in China. The market was absolutely flooded with this all within the last 5 years.

Thanks guys. What should I look for to spot one for real?

Hi dond,

I posted my Mothers collection in the collections forum

I didnt take pictures of handles or lid mounts..these are dead giveaways.

I'll get pictures at my next visit to see her.

Don,

You might find this site interesting http://www.reservistenkrug.de/

It's in German but there are lots of photos and 6 pages of repros. He also has a 'for sale' page but I've never had any contact with him so can't make any comments.
