RK and EKII just listed here but looks like the newer sandblasted frame types?

Looks that way to me too.

Long loop for cross.

Too bad the pictures of the core are not brighter so you can actually see the detail.

Recent, maybe even current S&L production....but still genuine pieces!!

It's a real current RK as it is not a silver frame. I talked to a dealer at the SOS who had several of them and he said when he purchased them at S&L's shop he asked why they were not marked 800, and was told the frames are no longer silver. He was selling them for $90.00 each. I wish I had gotten his address. He lives in Frankfurt is all I remember. Tom

Hi Tom!
Do you know when he bought the RK's?
The last pricelist I saw from S&L was late 2014, and both Silver and Non-Silver RK's were available then....Silver @70 Euro's, Non-Silver @45 Euro's & the Etui @30 Euro's.

Hi Nigel, Yes he said about 2 weeks ago. Tom

Thanks Tom!!
If I remember correctly, I think the same thing happened with Silver Oaks some years ago, but they reappeared for sale sometime later! Maybe they only make a limited number of Silver content pieces in a batch, and when they have sold out, that's it until they make another batch.....that's if they do!!

Yes, that makes total sense. Tom
