I have no information to back it up, but I think this is a custom and it seems to be missing the pin that would go between the legs to act as a pivot and stabilizer. This is very well done, are the legs still stable or do they pop out?

This is one that I have in my spare parts bin, that you can compare yours to. I say it's a custom that someone has cut the legs in half to make it look like it walks.

Hm :hmm:

A long time ago, when I ... did such thing to a klicky, I did this myself, with one of them. I think it's a natural idea for someone who grew up with it.

It's interesting, but I'm glad I never did to all of them. (There was only one, and it's long gone ...)

So, I was ten and I did it. Anybody else could ;D

It's clearly a custom from the roughness of the cut, though very well done.

The original Hans Beck design allowed for legs moving in exactly this way, but after he watched children playing with the prototypes they went to the fixed legs, because the kids weren't moving the legs separately anyway.
