J Temple-West Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hi, Sua 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.

Nan Su Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nan Su Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 It should be the mark left by someone when he straightened the catch with pliers.Su Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin W Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 The catch certainly looks like it has been messed with.As you say,probably marks left from an alteration with pliers ??Lovely badge BTW. Regards,Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
