I am very happy with today's Narex, good steel, but no comparison to the crap Irwin make today, pale in comparison to the older Record MarplesValley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-56373278360143287662017-03-07T19:33:21.791-04:002017-03-07T19:33:21.791-04:00Richter Extra chisels used to be the best quality ...Richter Extra chisels used to be the best quality chisels ever made, fully comparable to orig.

Yes translating back and forth across various language makes for some strange interpretations at time :-)<br /><br />Now that you mentioned it, I can clearly see the difference, you are right 50/150 are firmer chisels while 51/1521 are Bevel Edge chisels. <br /><br />Thanks a million<br /><br />BobValley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-48601403465966608222016-03-07T05:04:35.915-04:002016-03-07T05:04:35.915-04:00Hi Bob,

The blade logo, cap iron and frog may appear mismatched but it was not uncommon to have some left over parts put together at the factory without regards to today's Type study. Stanley never heard of such study back then and used up their inventory of parts. The blade is full length, practically unused.<br /><br />So far the only parts I'm looking for at this time are the rear tote bolt assy. (the one shown badly bent on the pic) and one frog is missing its lateral lever. I'm pretty sure I have the bolt, but no idea where it may be located...

If you need a part or two for the restores I might have it squirreled away in some dark corner of the shop.
