57er RK

[Nick Hessens]

Hi guys,
What do you think about this RK?
It looks like an original example to me, with a 'B' type core.

Thanks in advance.

imo a modern (late 80s +) rk

Ingrid...ask lots of questions, is it 3 piece, is the core magnetic, is it mm, is it silver.....ask for side on photos re/seam soldering....I am not keen on the initial look of this piece, reminds me of the "Canadian" fakes....... "B" cores came out in the mid 1960's and were magnetic, changing to non ferrous material in the mid 1970's....prices for these early type "B" RK's can be around £250 to £500.
The later 1980's RK's are usually a dull bead blasted finish.....and sell for upto £200.
Prost ! Steve.

Thanks Steve.

The seller says it's non magnetic and doesn't have a mm.

Just out of interest, how much was it ?
