Howdy buddy, Octavian here. I am wondering where the "crows feet" are on this 57RK. Normally they are very crisp. All corners look either exceptionally worn and rounded or its glare on the camera angle. I am used to seeing those crossed hatch marks on RKs. But you know me SSamir, RK's are not my specialty, but the core looks good to me. I am looking forward to further responses to see what the other members say. Take care friend. -Octavian-
Guys, thanks for the feedback. I got a couple of thumbs up elsewhere on this one, so I went along and bought it. I will keep it until I find a minty one for the right price. I see these early types, or "first patterns" are climbing up in value, so just might be a great investment.
Regards
Samir
Glenn, your cross rocks! Very nice early example. My compliments.
Samir
looks fine to me too Samir.
Update, gents. The cross is a good one but not the expected 1st pattern, "B" frame circa 1957-65 I was looking for. This one is a1st pattern core, late version "D" frame possible circa 1980-1990s version.
I contacted the seller for a refund. Lets see what happens.
Congrats SSamir! I was feeling good about this one. Cant wait till you post pics of it. Any RK is a nice addition to any collection.
