Haven´t heard about a "original" 57er DKiG or DKiS with 6 rivets
Have you some photos?
The 6 rivets DK´s sold mostly at ebay are crap.

Hello

I've never encountered anything in the 57 DKs with anything other than four rivets. That, of course, doesn't mean or prove that they don't exist, but I've not come across any references either to six rivet new form DKs, and you would imagine that no matter how rare, some reference would have been made to them by now if they existed.

I have one

Hello,

I sentt already some pictures of my six rivets DKiG to Peter Winkingfor his book. It would be nice if he could post some pictures of this cross. If he can't, give me an email adress so that I send some so that you can post them here.

Hi Carlos
It is a good cross manufactured from fine materials. I will describe it in more detail in my book.

That looks like my "Deschler" DK -here the needle is thinner, with 6 rivets.
This is the first one i see, looks very well made

Sweet ... to which maker can this one be attributed ?

Edit ... seems Rüdiger already gave me the answer in above thread. Only thing left to say now is .... nice .

Hello Carlos,

compare your stunning DK with mine - only the pin and the rivets are different

Hello

Well, I stand corrected, and happily so That's a first for me, a six rivet new form DK. What an absolute stunner, and very scarce

See, I said someone would make a reference to them Now just where is that book on the new form 57 items...........
