Very nice Yuri, one of the harder makers of the DKiG to find.

Nice original cross Yuri. That's a real keeper.

Thank you! Yes it was from Leisure Galleries. It's been sitting there for a while. So I decided that the price was finally right for a purchase.

Thanks Yuri. I have one that is more beat up that is 70.2 grams as well. Great cross. I had that one on my next purchase list, but too slow for me. Congratulations!

One thing I'd like to note about these DKGs by Godet is the toughness of the black finish on the inner starburst. On Kleins and Zimmermanns, if they are even lightly used, the black finish comes right off from the rays. With Godets this finish looks more resilient. Also note the top and bottom rivets are of a blackish color, while the two middle rivets are white metal. Looks like the outer rivets belong to the inner startburst and it was finished with the black color before the DKG was assembled.
