I have a cold shut on a pamor pendok in my collection; it is like a little flap of iron and will someday no doubt break off .

Hi Rick,

one of my first thoughts as well but when you look at pic. 6 you can see that the colour of the "bridge"-metal is different so my thought that it is a possible repair. But exactly this may be the reason for this repair.
Sorry for the not clear pictures, I have tried my best but the weather here allow only pictures by flash light.

Regards,

Detlef
