Gentemen ,



A Steinhauer and Luck Micro 800 RK for your perusal .

I believe the extent of the Die flaw marks would indicate that this was manufactured late in the war ?

Mid to late war was my understanding of this type of RK Paul.
I don't know much about them or whether there was any post war manufacturing of this type.

Thanks Adrian , the Micro 800 was definately a wartime produced RK but your right Mid to late war they began to show the die flaws which steadily got worse hence why i think this one must have been relativley late war .

[Adrian]

Yes, I think it depends on who is selling or buying or discussing. As you say, the die flaws would get progressively worse as time went by and that suggests late war.
I've seen them described as mid war and late war and mid to late war in different places.
I do like the RK though, it has the details that match others that have been deemed original.

Thanks Adrian , yes it is a very nice example of the Micro 800.
