Nice looking KVK!! "43" is my favorite maker because of the finish and pin style. Congrats on finding such a wonderful example. May I ask where you got this piece?

[Stephen Stout]

It is nice!! I really like the KVK w/ Swords!!

[Frank K]

Yep, a nice one to start with. Congrats!

I snagged if off the Estand last week just before it got "soft" deleted for clean up purposes within a few hours of it being posted... whew...
Thanks for the kind responses, I too like how it looks, nice detail. Are Julius Bauer items somewhat hard to find, this is only the second KVK I have seen marked 43?
Thanks for any Info.

Naah, it's one of the more common makers. They're many unmarked examples so maybe that's why?

[Van]

Great, thanks for the information..
