Help needed on DKiG Zimmerman?

[Volkbert]

Hi all,

I bought this DKiG. It was presented as a light Zimmerman but it is not marked. I hope you guys cab help me with this cross. Is it a good one? The enamel swaz is without any chips but the cross itself has seen lots of action think. What do you think of it?

The backside

Something between the plates?

Side view of the cross. It seems that something is between the plates????

Hinge

Again the hinge.

You say it is an unmarked Zimmermann, but don't I see a "134" maker mark on the reverse?

[George Stimson]

And the rivets look more like a Klein than a Zimmermann.

[Rich G]

It looks to be heavily repaired. I too can see '134' on the back plate.

[Volkbert]

Thanks for the comments. All opinions point to a Klein Cross. Can I conclude it is an original Klein?

Richard: Do you think the carch and hinge are repaired or also other things?

[George Stimson]

Kleins have been pretty well faked, so at this point I think you can only conclude that it could be an original Klein. You would have to get better pictures to tell for sure.

[Volkbert]

Thanks for all the information. I decided not to keep it and wait for a better one to come across.

Possible that this cross was opened.

Better wait another one.

[Volkbert]

Indeed Ivan, the cross looks to have been opened. The rivets are also very flat and damaged. I save my money.
