Opinion on '57 RK

[Nicomachean]

Hello,

I was wondering if I could get an opinion on this 1957 RK I picked up

I shown it to a few people and I have got a mixed consensus on what it actually is

What is certain is that the core is the 2nd pattern and it is iron (magnetic). It also has the original style loop

What is uncertain is the frame. Some say it is a "C" frame, some day it is a "D" frame. 

From what I understand "D" frames were non-magnetic cores but maybe this one is an oddball

Any opinions would be much appreciated as I am just trying to narrow this down for my own knowledge

Thanks

Cory

Cory,

 

Since you have received no responses here I suggest that you try the Wehrmacht Awards Forum (WAF) if you haven't already.  There is a forum dedicated to 57er wards on that site.  You can find it here
