DonC,
That 13" wasp with the derby guards seems to be built for a lefty. Is that correct or was the picture flipped?

I also have one of those with a dagger blade, but for a righty as most are.

DonC

Beautiful examples 8)
Love that 13 Inch wasp ,great horn and with the DonC shine looks magnificent.

What is the mark on the 11" Don?
Is it marked Rostfrei and from the 60s?

Hope your keeping well

My bad. Didn't notice the photo was flipped. Flipped the photo and edited the post. Thanks for keeping me honest. The 11 is marked Rostfrei.

There are two different styles of locking/sear mechanisms on the button open/button close models. The on with the two dear pins is the oldest.

Sorry faster

Of course its an 11 if they are 9s.

I like the look of those bigger examples....God willing I may get one in the future.
I have a smaller 6.50 inch PATENT example with hefty build and 2 piece slip in spring....and the disputed Italian/Japanese wasp derby BO/B.C..

Thanks for posting them
