Thanks Josko
Well this is a new one for me. Its not a Juncker and its not a BSW as far as I can tell. I can find no match for it, with originals or fakes. If its a fake, I haven't seen one like it.
The obverse details look good, same with the finish and the base metal. I also like the look of the catch, but there is something about the hinge that raises a red flag for me. Also the rivets look a little too neat and perfect. Is that an "A" mark on the reverse? If so, would love to see it up close to see if it holds any clues.
The reverse edges seem a little soft as well. I am on the fence with this one, would love to see a few more closeups of the hardware and reverse setup.

Hi Yuri,
Thanks for the closeup pics. Wow, I really like everything I am seeing with the reverse hardware, classic Assmann construction and materials IMO. Very interesting!

I have to say I like what I see. That certainly looks like a raised A to me. The reverse right rivet looks like a typical early spun tombak Assmann example. This is one I'd like to handle in person and examine VERY carefully though!
Regards
Mike
PS: I see extra pics popped up while I was pondering on this one - the enlarged MM and rivet confirm what I though from the first pair of smaller pics.Regards
