Thanks Marvin.

I was lucky enough to score this off of Detlev a year or so back.

It's definately one of the highlights of that part of my collection.

Thanks Greg.

If you look closely at this pin, the device is actually soldered on backwards.

The DAF emblem should be first, & the RDHdw (National Corporation of German Handicrafts) emblem should be upside down with the hammer standing strait up.
Basically it should be flipped & at an angle, just like the photo below.

Looks like somebody was asleep at the switch on this one.
So much for quality control, huh?

[Gregory Koepp]

you know i thought that it looked different?? and now.. duaaa

how is it soddered on the back? is it redone or factory done?
because if it is factory done it's worth alot more.

Greg,
It looks to me to be the original solder, so I would say it's factory done.

How would these have been made though?

Would they have soldered a straight pin to the back of the device, and then bent it?
If so, it looks like this one got bent the wrong way.

I'm attaching a close up scan of the back, so please let me know what you think.
