Looks (pictures are not good) like Zimmermann (=6) with repaired of small ring (and not the original two rings)

Even with these pictures ... I would say it is not a F ritz Zimmermann .

Hi Douglas

Rather, I suggested date 1813 of the core but I do not insist - I could be wrong. Would be welcome better pictures

for me not like it this the cross
although the pictures not the best ( very vague and not see the details)
the suspension ring for me it is like a cast piece
the ribbon ring I think not original

though to see than if made it 3 pieces construction but not like it


please put up sharper and better pictures

[Douglas 5]

Better pictures are needed .

Even so the reverse core does not match .
Fritz Zimmermann 1813 are found in 3 positions to the frame .
The 8 always sits high and slightly tilted to the right making a larger gap to the first 1 .

The pictures not the best ,now neither
but not see the details, the frame style a little similar the that Gottlieb & Wagner ,and the date number style too
but IMO the the suspension ring not like it , which similar maybe the 8 variant ,but not same

here are the pictures the 8 variant about suspension ring

I not like it the cross ,of course this is a my opinion

As Sanya has shown , thick jump rings were used and not a common thing (hard to work with) .... even S&L had one !

The one at the beginning does not look right ... ? Maybe a filed down and drilled out disk ??

The case of both rings is quite clear - they are not original, but what about the cross - frame and core ...

Hí Douglas
yes I remember that was a thick type suspension ring the early type
but IMO not such
I have too a such piece for my

[Douglas 5]

The frame has been opened - as bad of shape it is in - might be a 55 ??
Attempt to 'rebuild' - core replaced and closed up again --- needing a new jump ring . Ribbon ring seams to be from the old frame .

It looks almost cast?

Personally I don't like the cross.

Personally I don't like the cross.

One way to find out for sure is to use a microscope to see how exactly how it was made.
Looks cast is not enough for me.
