Can you also trim the picture of that screw, as to obtain a bigger image of it ?

And by the way...

I have tried cropping the image of the screw however when I do that the file size is too large and it won’t let me change it so I can only change the original photo file size and it’s the largest option

If you wish you can send me the original full size photos; i will see what i can do.

Hello

It seems to be fully functional, although the pan lid lacks a spring that holds it in place, it has a single catch, when the bigger guys had two, and so the subject of the shot is different. It also differs in the fixing of some parts by forging and riveting., But it is very difficult to establish a manufacturing date, which must be done by comparing it with existing specimens.

I know it’s difficult but it definitely appears old to me and the stock inside really does seem very of years old as well
