    New Additions - Carl Wild in Silver

    Hi guys,

    Here is a recent pick up, nicely preserved Carl Wild Silver Grade with soldered on hardware. Was able to pick up his later, cast-in hardware brother too recently and will add those pics as well.

    Hope you guys like em as much as I do. These CWs are nicely detailed with good quality hardware setup and decent finish for a zink badge.

    If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

    Here is the other one, later with integral, cast-in hinge and catch. Still decent finish remaining, albeit bubbling up in places.

    Thanks

            Hi Ronny,

            i think it´s about time that you reveal all the ones you have in your "small" collection of CW´s

              Hi guys,

              Thanks for the great comments, I appreciate it.

              Hans, yes indeed looking for the rare small-hinge variant, please let me know if you happen to see one of these rare buggers for sale if you don't happen to snap it up for your collection first ofcourse

              Ronny, would love to see your CW variants. I though there was a MM variation on the Large-Hinge examples only, not the cast in ones you mention above. Would love to see more about this variation.

              Thanks!

              Tom

                I believe the maker mark variation would be some with horizontal lines within the border, and some without.
                Here is my silver with the large hinge.
