Dear fellow collectors!
I will try in the following post to show the pure technical aspects of the so called Rounder. Nothing else and everything I know so far and the things that cannot be denied, becaus it's there for everybody to see, weight, touch and investigate.
Maybe this is a good basis to try and have e 'new start'.
The name Rounder comes from the rounded inner corners which are - contrary to the filed corners we sometimes see with a Juncker - an inherent part of the die, i.e. intended by the designer or producer of the die.
My personal therory about this is that is was done for the reason that there will be more room to the swastika and therefore possible fitting problems are less likely. The rounded corners are nothing new, there are EK1 and EK2 showing the same feature.
For the Rk's however, it' seems to be unique, not using Juncker as another example since it was not intentiona. The Detlev 'unknown' (page 490 of his new price guide) might be another example, however, those corners could have been filed, too.
