hi guys , just put an offer in for this , just being ultra cautious by asking for further comments

[Thomas Durante]

Hi Terry,

Not much to say about this one, its an S&L and the verdict is still out whether these are wartime produced or postwar. I like the look of the hardware on your example, seems to have the "wartime dimple" on the pin.

Not a period piece imo.

hmm sent him the money before , its on the e-stand and was given the thumbs up by a couple of members , theres also a detlev certificate to go with it ,its described as junker massif !!

[Antonio Scapini]

I completely agree with Tom here, beautiful piece, with wartime compatible hardware, but hard to say if it is a wartime piece. No one has solid proofs to support his opinion on pieces like this.

However some flat back BKAs were produced during the war...

Detlev certificate isn't a guarantee of originality...

As Tom mentioned it's attributed to S&L.

well that's a re-fund then what a pain ! I thought as its been on the e-stand for 3 weeks and has already been posted up here once that it was a safe bet ,I m sure the seller was under the same impression , thanks for your help

I never considered the cert as gospel , just something else in there
