Hi Serge

It is a diamond.

Actually trying to find a Duckworth which I have been told is the proper one.

According to the Tech. Manual for WWII G519 bicycles ''Duckworth'' 1'' pitch chains were used. You would be looking for the one with the outline of a duck on each connecting link. However, of the G519's in my collection that came with their original chain and the original NOS packaged and labeled WWII G519 chains, which I have seen, the one to look for would be the '' Baldwin - Duckworth '' chain. On these each connecting link is marked '' B-D USA'' with the ''USA'' below the ''B-D''. B-D of course for Baldwin-Duckworth. These are the only two variations of the Duckworth markings, which I know of used on the G519 bicycles. I would go with the ''B-D USA'' marked chain as first choice since I have actually owned original ''B-D USA'' chained G519's as well as seen and owned original packaged ''B-D USA'' military bike chains. Hope this helps?

Regards,
Bill
