Hi, Su

a very nice early example by this maker....

Any chance of a close-up of the catch...it's just to make sure that it has not a repair, as it seems to be a bit rougher than the normal wire catches I've seen on these early types.

Catch.

Hi Su,

Very nice early Schwerin, the catch is fine on additional pics.

Here is mine of this type.

Cheers,

Agree with Bubba....all's good.

And, Bubba....superb example!!

[Nan Su]

Thank you so much guys.

Please forgive me if I have some misuse in words or grammar, my English is not so good.

I'm trying to take clearer shorts of the top of the catch. To watch closely, it should be the early blacksmithing and gilding method.

The catch is certainly not as it left the factory. Could it be that the catch has been worked on after being damaged?  At least the catch is original, and intact.

[Nan Su]

It should be the mark left by someone when he straightened the catch with pliers.

The catch certainly looks like it has been messed with.

As you say,probably marks left from an alteration with pliers ??

Lovely badge BTW.
