Picked this up - was hoping it would be an ftd can, but no - instead an arr42 no Waffenamt can. RGK is unmarked - I think I know the maker but let’s see what’s said to see if I’m right. I think all of the beads are steel.

Arr42 kits are like a box of chocolates... you never know what you will get... I like it as is and in this case keep it as such.
Regarding the RGK, might expect to find a ayw or kcy coded swivel boss. The WaA eagle stamped where it is on the one pictured (and "double tap" of the die stamp) throws me off. Had I this RGK, would drag out my arr41/42s and do a "stare & compare" with the other RGKs in a attempt to match it up to one of them...

I think you are seeing tool marks and not a waffenamt on the rgk

Saved the pic and subjected it to my Win10 photo edit program. Whatever it is, one can see three pairs of straight lines on the lower part on each side of a indistinct center and they are tapered inwards from top to bottom. Then it looks like two similar, pairs of lines above. Strange location and laid out the way they, appears almost intentional. However, since you have more than just a photo to go by, it must be otherwise. Also noticed the crude file marks on the pictured edge of the patch loop.
