Hi Micha,

many thanks for the additional photos. I´m undecided about the red one in the middle...
Is there any difference in the quality of the copper collar? Does it perhaps have a seam line
at the back?
A characteristic of the Driburg copper parts is that they are slightly inward curved at the base.
They must have been pressed from a single piece - a technically highly skilled work.
Unfortunately nobody seems to know who made them and the rumour they tend to spread
in the museum about a certain german Metal Working Factory won´t be
repeated here, because a friend of mine managed to disprove it... 

Pictures tend to disappear from online storages after a certain time... Would it be ok for
you if I directly attached them to this thread, please?

Hello Dirk!

I will make some more and some better pics soon.
And sure, you can attach my pic to the forum :-)
