Hi, the pin and catch are not original, they have been replaced. The cross is a Souval

Sorry, but I'm going to have to stick my oar in and say that the whole thing is fake.

Interesting, would love to hear more opinions.......to me it doesn't matter either way

[reichenberg]

kuhny, is it the correct 3 piece constuction or is it made in one piece?

[plaut]

IMO it's early 1-piece Deschler

[kuhny]

hey reichenberg,

I haven't actually got it yet, it was a verbal yes to buy it from a private seller.......I have bought items from him in the past and he has been very good.
He says for this that it is made of Tombak and the thin needle is the indicator for a very rare maker.....

Cross is original from an unknown maker, maybe Deschler.

Not replced if my memory serves me right. But let's here what other says.

Nice one-piece cross, original in all aspects (including the hardware)

And, as already been mentioned, most likely made by Deschler.

Thanks for your input guys, it's an interesting cross.....to me the pin and hinge looks to be replaced but im only new and not an expert at all.

Hello there,

I also agree that the cross is an accepted original but I would personally like to know what logic is behind the Souval frame/core as associated with Deschler?
