Hello,could someone tell me is this a early type DK?Thank you very much.

The back side.

It,s not a late one or an early one so it,s a mid one from me .

The red looks like enamel instead of the crappy paint used on the late one,s and the finish doesn't look too shiny and stay bright .

Not a crap one but not a nice early one with the wartime pin & hinge set up , mind you these are scarce .

I'm think - it's middle version (look on pin version).
