The DK remains what it is - a later made piece - the open hinge block hardware (certainly post 1968) speaks for itself. Nothing to argue about that.

Hello,
sorry for my persistence, I don't want to harry anybody.

I only want to mention the following:

- S&L used the open hingeblock since 1968 (approximately)
- Other manufacturers used the open hingeblock already before 1945

My conclusion:

- We can't say, that another 57er manufacturer, for example Deschler, didn't used it much more before 1968.
- We have no exact timeline for other manufacturer like Deschler.
- open hingeblock (regardless of who manufactured it) = certainly post 1968, sorry, but this is not correct.

best regards
Pattex
