Screwplates

Eric,

It is not lack of interest, but the quasi-impossibility to acertain for sure that the order and the screwplate were originally "joined for better and for worst" at MD.

Yes, it's very difficult dating them ... But at least we can make a database of their diversity.

That's very true. Marsino and I are simply trying to establish some very general variations of screwplates.
I'm hoping that if we can garner enough images we might be able to guess at what screwplate variation might go with a certain timeframe or factory....
Who knows; we might just decide to publish the results in The Comprehensive Guide to Soviet Screwback Plates © :chuckle Here's your chance to get in at the ground floor. :p
