Ahhh...yes that is where I saw it for sale. I remembered the bent pin.

Thanks Doug,

As noted I'm still learning on these. Without giving trade secrets a ways, what is it that you see that could be bad?

In looking at other Meybauers, the block hinge on those seemed to be be a bit more robust. This one appears to be thinner (top to bottom)

Hello Map,
I have read the thread over on WAF and they all seem to be happy with it.
What gave me an uneasy feeling about it is the detail of the eagles.
They just seem too worn on the breast feathers and the wing feathers seem to just have enough of a look of being cast that I wouldn't buy it.

The hinge and hook are just about perfect matches for every other original examples that i have seen...or at least have been considered to be originals by others.

Thanks Doug. When/if I have time I will check Meybauer examples again. I thought that the actual block that attaches to the round hinge/pin on the Meybauer examples were much thicker. And this more closely (but I've only seen one example and the pictures were not great) resembles a Junker. In the end, just a learning experience on my part, so not concerned with the outcome.
