Hello Terry,



Actually this is a second generation copy of the reproduction 360/42 set that was post-war made of aluminum, with flat, brass pins. The first generation, aluminum copies were probably the best looking reproductions, along with the 380/40 marked reproductions.

The dies have been reused and recut several times with copies made of aluminum, iron, and zinc. The set you posted were cast from a mold made from an earlier copy.

Do you mean in the '80's, Bob? Or much earlier?
