Hi,

I've recently bought a pair of Hamburg 8 cuffs. Having never handled a pair before I had assumed that the bows were rounded on their fronts and backs. The pair I have is rounded on the front and flat on the back. Is this the norm? Mine sadly don't have an original key (Flat key variety) and have no makers marks. Are these original or repro....any comments?

Thanks,

RMP.

Hi,
My Hamburg 8s also have a flat and round side. The recent Pakistani copies are flat on both sides and have thicker bows.
