SWB39 opinion? Small pin

[wschmidt]

Hello Guys,
I'm looking for this SWB. It is a beautiful worn SWB for me.
But I never see one small pin as it.
What do you think?
Regards,
William

Hi William,

No problems with a relatively short pin on this probable Brehmer-produced example. Small pin length variations are found with this specific (and less common) combination of hinge/catch.

Other manufacturers used even shorter pins (eg Forster & Barth L/21).
