DKiG - please let me know you opinions!

[stdub]

Hi fellows,

I got this DKiG with a uncommon reapair of the catch.

The catch holds the pin very strong, so it is not easy to open (and not easy to lose it in combat of course).

What do you think about this DKiG? The measurements are as they have to be.

Hi Yuri,

you mean this?

[stdub]

no more comments on this DKiG?

[IVAN]

Yes, I mean this, thank you.

I have seen what I expected, I confirm to you this DK is not like the general known Zimmermann, BUT I DON'T MEAN IS A COPY, maybe can be but maybe can not be. When I have more informations I will say to you privately.

May we see a closeup of the rivets?

Hi Yuri,

rivets at 3 and 9 o'clock looks nice but rivet at 12 o'clock is wrong. It would be interesting to see ALL four rivets obliques closed.

Hi Ivan and Yuri,

here are some photos of the rivets - hope they can help.

I also noticed some uncommon features on this DK, but I still think it is okay.
Isn´t it possible that the 12 o´clock rivet is a part of a repair?
