If you download the pics at his page and post them here in good size, maybe someone of us can be able to help
Click the pics on weitze and when they have loaded on your screen, you click the "download" symbol.
I have a photoshop- im not 100% sure how to use it since i am a tad ignorant, and i only use it for posting pics here once in a while.

It's a good Type 2 unmarked Schwerin. The finish could be alot better, but it's authentic. Can't narrow the type down any further without seeing a close up of the catch. It's either a 2.1 or a 2.2. No idea on the name-the lighting is too low to make it out, but it's nice to see it's personalized.

I think I can just make out the name, it's very faint but looks like........., Walter Wolfram Wilhelm Weitze.

Good original but i'm thinking it might be a type 3b that features a domed-head hingepin and a flatwire catch and is unmarked ?
Cheers,Martin.

TrondK,
Weitze does not seem to allow the downloading of his images, as I see no download symbol appear in either chrome or explorer. I can provide the link for those interested.

Also, when referencing the "types" where is this terminology found (ex: type 2.1,2.2 etc.)? Torpedo Los by Williamson perhaps? Thanks

Hi, looks a good original piece to me as well, the naming is a great extra (if period). Leon

It's difficult to say from the photos, but I would still lean toward a Type 2, if only for the glob of the deck gun. The Type 3's all seem to have clearer cut cannons, but being hand worked, the lines tend to get abit grey with these pieces. Aside from this, there really isn't a whole lot of difference between them and it is a good Schwerin in any case.

All in all it's a good original,as mentioned by all here.
If the price is good for you,then go for it.
I love to get "named" Hilfskreuzer awards myself.
Cheers,Martin.
