Godet DKiG flaws

[tom hansen]

This came up on the other forum. I did a search here and could not find a similar thread. We really went over the zimmerman and klein pieces last months with incredibly detailed close-ups of common flaws, which I thought was very helpful and should be a useful thread in the future for details of the zimmerman/klien DKiG. What about Godet? I have found a few areas which appear consistent on this piece. There are several other areas, which I cannot tell if they are consistent, as my second example has some corrosion. Hopefully others with Godets can post and perhaps add a few. Thanks!



First- the dot on the "9"

Hi Tom,

I taked a look to mine but in the date I don't see flaws.

[tom hansen]

Thanks Ivan. Would you mind taking a look with a 30X loop? On the two examples I have these marks are consistent on both. Thanks!

Here is a couple of crosses from the forum with the same features

Hi Tom,

Here's an ex of mine. I've got another locked away, will post pics when I get a chance.

[tom hansen]

Thanks Tim! You have that same little spot on the "9"

I have a Godet in my collection with exactly the same flaws as Tom pointed out.

I really don't see the point of looking for such minute differences. If a copy is cast using an original, it will have these anyway, if not then the differences should be easy to spot. Waste of time IMO.
