Metal TK...OPINIONS PLEASE

[Ernst60]

Hi all:
Please take a look a this TK. It's been 'refurbished' in several ways, including having new pins soldered on the back. Is it a 'Deschler & Sohn'?

Thanks for the expert opinions fellas!! As usual, with these SS items one seems to
need a degree in FSI (Fake-Scene-Investigation) in order to distinguish between the authentic and the repro. Thus far, I've only taken the correspondence course on FSI, as I've not had the time or the money to undergo the formal course!!!
