3 unrestored, untouched German Springer survivors. Bought these around a year ago (maybe longer) and never wanted to restore them.
Man the stories these knives could tell if they could speak. Bill D replaced the spring on the DRGM so it would function.
Other than that all are untouched, all 3 tang stamped Made in Germany
Hope you enjoy the pics and thank you for looking

Would love to see a side by side shot of how thick the top bolsters/pullers are in comparison to each other. I’ll be the middle one is the fattest of all three.

Re: German Springer Survivors
I believe the center knife shell puller configuration is an earlier design.

Re: German Springer Survivors
Bill, I thought I recalled reading a thread on another forum saying that shape of bolster was an older design? Please forgive my incompetence 
and here is a picture of some leverlocks to make up for it.

Re: German Springer Survivors
My guess is that it's a later version of the design. It's a simpler design-easier to produce.
But, that's just a guess.
Nice levers!
