Houston, I hear what you are saying about replacement connectors etc. What I have tried to point out from the beginning of this topic is:
1. There is at least one or more chain assemblies that were period produced other than the Type I and Type II that collectors are most familar with.
2. The Type X chain assemblies are in fact noticably different than the Type I and Type II configurations, and most likely at the very least a different set of dies, if not a totally different manufacture all together.
3. And finally, the beveled connectors on Type X chain assemblies are unique to this maker, and not just simply a replacement for a broken or damaged chain. They can in fact be identified and associated with the Type X chain.
We have all identified Type I and Type II Chain Daggers from the connector to the Wotan's knot. Type X chains can also be identified by the type of beveled connector that was used on these type of chains.
