Thread: Dovo Bismarck Confusion

Hi all

I recently bought two Bismarcks from the same vendor (although two different purchases within one week - one on line and one in store). Funnily the two don't look the same. Note the different lines across the spine vs on the sides.

Does any experienced member know whether those differences are legit?

Maybe this explains why some Bismarck owners complain about scratched strops, whereas others don't.

Thanks for your help!
