This arrived today. A few things I am not sure about. Do they use brass pin in the lever? Is this knife original or has replacement parts? Please have a look. Opinion is welcome. Cheers, Dave

Looks fine in every aspect, odd though with no Luftamt stamp. Is the pin in brass and not "yellowed" stainless?

I found 2 other examples have no luftmt marking on the forum last night. And you are right, it does looks like yellowed steel through magnifier. Cheers, D

When I start collecting in the early 70s everything was much easier but no days it´s a lot of copys of everything
