Indeed—great find. And it looks generally to be in excellent condition. It seems shorter than it would've originally been—one of the two double-link spring sections seems to have been removed—but otherwise it seems great. Congrats and enjoy.

Correct, according to the topic you linked to, it originally had five double spring links. Mine has four left, which is more than enough for my wrist.

I’m going to have to convince my friends that this is actually not a Forstner. 😁
