Early RGD-33

Hello Eugene, Very Nice, thanks for showing these photos.

I see now that the "early RGD33's were also maker marked", just like most standard later wartime 33's I have seen. (I have 3 others, all marked)

My Early 33 that I show at start of this thread is "totally unmarked, both head and handle". I had thought maybe the handle on my example was not the original to my early head.

After looking, and thinking more about my example being "unmarked on both handle and head" I think now that the head and handle, are original to each other, and were made at the same factory, and the same time.

Very good, thanks again for showing.

Regards, Steve
