Unusual(?) "Heavy Eagle" reproducer

[Grammophon]

The toothed securing ring of this "Heavy Eagle" reproducer looks unusual. The Columbia AB, serial number 752840, which came with it, bears the dealer tag of Otto Schleiffelder, Vienna, Austria: https://grammophon-platten.de/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?48051.last

 

What do you think of it?

The compression ring looks like that of an Edison Reproducer.

You are right. It looks like a clamp ring from an Edison reproducer. Thank you very much. It seems to be a historical repair, which I leave in this condition. The Columbia AB came from a private owner who was no phonograph collector.

I agree that it seems to be a somewhat later repair but very interesting.  I also would leave as is.

Is the body of the reproducer threaded to accept the ring or is the threaded ring just pressed in?
