Interesting Pammy! Could it be a Juncker perhaps? There are indicators to suggest it is......
Hopefully someone might be able to say for certain.......?

Also known as a 'Lazy 2'.........

I can make out the '800' stamp on the frame and I think I can just see something to the left of the suspension loop which might be a '2' lying on its back.

[pammy]

Yeah,thats what he was telling me but i had no clue what it all meant?what would be a value on an item like this?just incase he changes his mind and sells to me?

The larger picture shows the typical Juncker 'basket weave' pattern on the inner corner..n'est pas ?

Yes, I think I can just make it out on the bottom left inner corner. You can also see the 'X's on the outer corners.

Definately looking like a Juncker, the Ose is the familiar Juncker one and the beading finish on the tip of the right 6 o clock arm looks good as does the cross hatching finish on the inner corners.

The 800 is off set to the right suggesting a Lazy 2 offset to the left.

Better and closer photos would be good

Where it was dug will be very interesting !!
