My Dawn 75 and 100, quite the difference in size considering.

The guy has real class, just showering over it once without moving the slide - I can still smell the paint in the pictures ...
Then I also offer here a copy of the international brotherhood of the over-showerers, this time with measurements, it is from Germany after all:

Overshowering sounds like a very different sort of vice entirelyView attachment 343238

Look what you've found ... and what I found
That was as it came to me before derusting and oiling - now working very smoothly again ...
I haven't found out where it comes from either, somehow it doesn't look Germanic to me.
In any case, the clamping screw is M10x1.5 - a Frenchman? Italian?

Yes, really very well made and nicely designed.
I would love to ask @The_Yellow_Ardvark where he got his from .... I bought mine from a normal person in Germany.
As I said before the design doesn't look German to me at all, just too designy.
I haven't done anything mechanically to remove rust, only in a hot ultrasonic bath with added citric acid.
In the areas where metal is now visible, the paint was already subverted by rust and could not be saved.
The paint seems to have been originally crinkle paint (what do you call it?)
, which was also used for high-quality measuring instruments in the past.This makes me think of watchmaker's equipment, which in turn implies Switzerland, which for me can be reconciled with the design ....
Beautiful piece anyway, after copious application of ISO68 hydraulic oil it is fully operational again and in light use indoors with me, it will never see rust again.
Have a nice sunday

wenn ich meine Deutschkenntnisse mit etwas schwäbischem Dialekt einsetze
normalerweise mit einer Aerosolfarbe auf englisch würden wir nicht "showering" aber "spraying" sagen..... 8o)
LOL
"Showering" ist
a) wenn es ein bisle regnet, aber nicht zu stark
b) wenn Sie in einem Badezimmer duschen
c) wenn einvernehmliche Erwachsene (anscheinend) "Golden Showers" machen - keine persönlichen Kenntnisse diesbezüglich ...
u. wie SteveB58 oben geshreiben Viele gruss

Wann du schreibst auf deutsch, you might get away with your third def but the moderators would slap it down in English.
Now explain 'slap it down' in deutsch, and keep it clean.
