Some pre war operating rods

[RCS]

Difficult to find nowdays, the revision 1 op rod is found with a handstamp - SA and also in the later single legend drawing number. The revision 2 discontinued the dash. There are variations of the drawing number on top too.

The super rare operating rod is the original weld-seam op rod, it was made from an extrusion that included both the handle and rod, The bottom of the tube or rod has the welded seam, hence the name (as used by collectors)

Yes, super rare. It's marked D 28296-0 on the handle.
