Here are a couple of photos of the 1804 Streicher instrument in Leipzig (rebuilt in the Streicher shop from an earlier Fr&egrave;re & Soeur Stein).  The iron gap spacers are visible.<img src="18041.jpg"width=600><p><img src="18042.jpg" width=600><p>
Here are photos of the 1803 in N&uuml;rnberg; it has a single wooden gap spacer under a course of dummy strings in the middle of the string band.  The legs are not original, and should look like the 1804.<img src="nurn1.jpg" width=200 align=left><p><img src="nurn2.jpg" width=300 align=right><p><hr>
