Just a quickie. Would you consider this hinge to be replaced or just sloopy workmanship.
thanks in advance

A replacement pin for sure, but could you post a close up of the hinge?

[scott3000]

I concur with Giel

I concur with scott who is concurring with Giel.

[greg.hays]

I too will continue the serial concurrence

[Giel VW]

Thanks for all the concurrence

Andy, I really can't tell for sure. My guess would be that the hinge was resoldered, but I already saw some very ugly solder jobs on Wiedmanns. Would need to handle the piece to know for sure. Do you guys concur ones more?

Indeed, I do....

I'll have to non-concur. I think the hinge is original to the badhe because of the finish over the solder along the top edge of the hinge.

[Giel VW]

Now I will have to concur with you Don, but I'm still not a 100% convinced, it's really looks like a messy solder job...

A Friday afternoon badge Giel. Or perhaps the air raid siren sounded.

[greg.hays]

I somewhat concur. Weidmann certainly has had a number of sloppy solders. I think this is a resolder but prior to applying the finish thus making it the original setup for the badge...less the replaced pin which was already established.
