I'm travelling to see family and stopped in a PIAS to see what they had. Found what I think is an older Valk. Nothing is legible where the factory worker would have marked it.
There are patent numbers, the old school *INNOVA FACTORY SECOND* stamp, and its flat with a zipper top. Looks like three or more people have owned it, but it's an 8/10 if you don't count the ink under the rim and the flight plate.
It looks like a Valk to me. I can't get a good profile shot. Assuming it is a Valk, is there a way to tell which run this is from?
It appears you have a zipper top. It will be either a 4X or early run 5X. The top will be very flat regardless. Later in the 5X run the dome appeared and the zipper vanished, not sure why. I have about a dozen of the disc from all 3 runs.
I attached a pic, the blue is a 5X, the orange is a 4X.
