Oaks
Congrats ! on a lovely cased set....
The Oaks are clearly OK and I'd put them at early war period of manufacture....
Has anyone any theories as to why Godet should have one set of dies for 900/L50 Oaks, and another for 900/21 Oaks ? I have some ideas, but I would be interested in comments.

Bill's Oakleaves (and yours) are stunning but can't be early war manufacture as they are clearly second type and with a Präsidialkanzlei "21" mark not believed to have been in general use until around the middle part of the war.
The reason for the change is always going to be a matter of speculation but I believe it is related to the introduction of the Swords and the need for a longer suspension loop requiring a flatter back than the concaved surface on the first type into which the shorter Oakleaves suspension loop neatly fits.
