S&L SC in silber

[Brian S]

Can you show us the reverse? The wartime S&L's are just to me obvious in fit and finish.

Here are better pictures.

I would have full faith and confidence in that one. For me that is exactly the form fit and finish of hardware and surface and construction I would define as "wartime manufacture".

[Brian S]

I kept asking you all the same question, define for me a wartime "4". Well no one did.... Except for Gary who showed you one. There you have it. A "4" without question IMHO a wartime example.

[Brian S]

So here's your 4 and your L/16. Different hardware but unmistakable wartime quality and construction.

Gary a head on shot of the catch would be useful.

Thanks much Gary. Now we have the clear crisp photos of a wartime "4" SK. Clearly see the pin striations and catch and hinge unique to the "4". Perfect. Be looking forward to more wartime "4"'s if they are around.
