Opinions on "4" marked 1957 EK2 Please!

[Matthieu]

I used to have Deumer + S&L wartime EK's ( both EK1 / EK2 ) in my collection, but all gone now, no chance for me to compare.
For some collectors, the difference between wartime vs postwar production is holy. But as stated in this thread ... " how to distinguish wartime production from immediate postwar production " ???

Arrived

Here it is:









The frame has a mirror-bright finish and there is some paint in the beading. Does that all seem ok to you guys? It is a beauty, I'm just asking.

Thanks

Trevor

Thanks Nigel. As always.

Any problems with the shiny frame or the paint in the beading (painted after assembly, or repainted)?

Overall condition is superb.

Hi Trevor,
there are no problems with this EK. Everything is alright. Looks like an early Steinhauer has to look

[Matthieu]

Hi Trevor,

A very nice addition to your growing 57er collection! It's got all the desirable attributes. It's early, high quality, MM'd and very pleasing to the eye!
