Hello,
Bought this, it's silver brother, and a bronze MK4 IAB (posted for review in another thread) at a small militaria show in Germany about 10 years ago and finally getting around to having it reviewed. I believe it is 100% original, including the finish, but after I bought it I accidentally broke the hook off. A jeweler friend of mine repaired it the other day (using the original hook) and did an excellent job IMO. He even offered to use a bronze rub on the small bit of solder that shows but I told him that would be going too far, I just wanted it to be functional again and as close to original as possible.
Took the photos under cloudy skies, but can take more next week if needed and weather permits.
So, would like to get your opinions as to originality of finish, etc.
Thank you,
Dale
