Hi Cappa ;
An original somewhat early L59 with 2nd type 'fold anchor' foot and flat top catch .
Sad part is someone polished the frame and repainted the core , and so badly messed around with it .
An interesting maker that bought something like 5 different pin systems from other makers with a few variations . As well 4 different 'S' dies and 2 L59 dies marks were used . AND to complicate things I have found 24 different 'Marks" which can appear alone or up to a combination of 5 together on one cross !!!
The one I have has 3 extra marks , with the 'diamond' mark that was struck almost right through the silver pin .
