Hello everyone

I recently made this purchase and would like to share it. I wasn't going to post it but I have lost the "warm and fuzzies" about it. I have read a few posts and I see inconsistent thoughts on Deschler's mark of "1". I read that the short "1" is good and bad and have become nervous. I

would like some confirmation on this piece. The pin setup is correct and the catch appears fine. The pin may be shaped somewhat odd but not scary. In my research I have found that early pieces may have some silver content and this would cause the shiny finish on the back? Either way, here she is for review. Thanks for your comments.

I'm only familiar with Floch fakes of KVKs so i'd be thinking 'good'.

If Nick says its ok It could very well be... I am far from being an expert but...

My concernes were the details of the swaz and wreath are very soft could just be the picture. Also there is solder everywhere on the back and the flaws and finish on the back put me off a bit as well.

Just my opinion
