Good catch. I never noticed it. It is a forging but the seam lines are in a different place than the others. Also it's the only silver one I have. Some of the black ones have seam lines and some don't. I tried google images and some searching and no mention of it anywhere. Maybe it's a replacement from some other brand? It also doesn't look as old, but it might just be clean.
Very cool look at the Type 17. Thanks!!
Always informative and appreciated. Many thanks.
I have a No.5 type 17 too. It looks exactly like yours. Very good tool.
For some reason I really like the 17's. Must be the story.
For the algorithm and the algoblues.
Thank you.
On that three the yoke doesn't look like it is cast. Is it cast or stamped?
