What do you think? DKR original rocker runners?

Looks legit to me.
Do the runner fasteners look clean? I would think that if these had been redone they would have to be removed and the fasteners might show some slight damage from removal. If they look clean and you don't see any signs of dye/paint on them, well...
The chair is early so it's very possible.
If it were me I'd buy it if not to outrageously priced.

Yes
They look like original runners to me. As for the dye, the color is similar to the aniline dye used on the plywood chairs. Hard to say if the dye is original, but it just looks weird to me. Perhaps it would look better with a harlequin cover?
If it is original, I might acquire it just for novelty / rarity value.

COOL TEST
Passes with flying colors.
(Red!)

Oi vey
If that had a harlequin pad it'd be the sickest thing ever.

Looks pretty original to me...
Looks pretty original to me also. I also agree that I would probably buy it (assuming the price is right) just for the rarity of the red rockers. I do not care for the rockers with that fabric though. I would reupholster in a fabric that complements the color of the rockers.

I hate it when.....
I continually get jealous (bad trait, I know) when someone finds something like this for a tremendously inexpensive price. A buddy of mine picked up this DKR a few weeks ago for the low low price of 30 bucks. Now that should be on the WTF page.

BTW
This chair is actually an RKR (again, assuming it is all-original).

Good Point
But furthermore I think it's RKR-1 for the fully upholstered cover, RKR would have the bikini cover?
rod seems to mean different things (insert arrow pointing downward)

Oh my head is full of letters
the first letter seems to dictate whether the R is rocker or rod, eiffel or lounge
the designations are somewhat flexible depending on their context? Meaning an R means different things depending on what's in front of it...
like dkr(od) dining wire with eiffel
lkr lounge wire with LOUNGE rod base
rkr rocker wire with rocker rod base
is this reasoning correct?

Acronyms
First letter is the chair type. D = dining, L = lounge, M = medium, R = rocking, P = pivot
Middle letter is shell type. S = side, A = arm, K = wire
Last letter is the base. X = X or H base, R = rod (Eiffel, rocker, or cat's cradle), W = wood
Suffix
1 = 1-piece cover
2 = 2-piece cover, bikini

Very succinct explanation of the terms, sir Woody.
If only such rational nomenclature were more common in the furniture business...

Thanks for the explanation
Just seeing the nomenclature break down...makes sense to me.
I mentioned the chair was DKR...why can't you have a bunch of higher seated rockers at a dining room table? When you "shovel" the food onto your fork, you rock forward....when you place it in your mouth, you rock backwards. Fun visual of a family of 6:)
Sir Woody, what does the "C" stand for in LCW, DCW, LCM, etc....?

"C" is for...
"COCCYX" since that's the part of your body that comes into contact with the "CHAIR."
