HKW identification

Howdy folks,

I am in a bit of a pickle here with this HKW. It looks like an unmarked Appel but that's no certainty for me. Would this fit and make sense in a late close to center cnx kit?

Thanks for your help and advices, always appreciated.

I think G.APPLE would also be the most likely contender. That short, pinched neck looks convincing. Seems other makers tended to have a longer, rolled "oar-like" neck until production went to flat, single stamp pattern.

Thanks for your help Pwcosol 🙂
 
I have a question as well related to HKW identification.
It stems from trying to figure out what sets of contents should be found in arr kits, based on the WaA (or none) present.
I have a few arr 43 kits with different WaA's, having 'wrong' contents.
So I'm trying to identify what parts I do have or try to explain why certain combinations are present.

Attached is a comparison between 2 HKW's found in an arr 43 kit, together with what else I had laying around that resembles the shape.
I have another arr 43 kit on the way, and it seems like it's the same type of HKW again.

In an arr 43/44 kit, I'm expecting either a :
  • wrapped Braunschweigische (arr or unmarked) tool
  • wrapped or flat Gustav Appel (unmarked) tool
  • wrapped Kyffhäuserhütte (unmarked) tool
So what HKW did I find in my arr 43 kit?
Looks a bit like a late war Mundlos (I don't have one to compare with)
