Opinions on "4" marked 1957 EK2 Please!

[streptile]

Hello all,

I was offered this EK2 to buy (my signature worked!)
I probably should've posted it before paying, but I just got too enthusiastic and it's on the way already.
It 3-piece, magnetic, and marked "4" on a closed ring.
Can I have your opinions please? About period of manufacture, collectability, authenticity, etc.



Many advance thanks to those in the 57 forum!
Trevor

Hmm, gonna need a working picture first ...

[streptile]

You guys can't see it? Sorry, let me try again.

EDIT: OK, updated first thread...

Thanks Matthieu!

Congratulations, a very early Steinhauer & Lück EK II you have there.

i think Seewolf has summed it up nicely!! S & L, 60's nice cross!!!!!! -Nigel

[streptile]

Sweet, thanks.

Nigel, out of curiosity: why '60s and not '50s?

[Seewolf]

I think it could be from the ´50s, the first series were marked and had the wartime frame.

[Nigel N]

it could well be from the 50's, but i think its impossible to say for sure, unless anyone knows when they were numbering the rings, but i thought i'd play it safe and go for 60's, either way its a great one -Nigel

Great cross, I've seen them with mm "3" but not with mm "4". Thanks for posting !

i think he already has...lucky man!!!!-Nigel

[streptile]

Yep, I got it.

I'm very happy.

More photos when it arrives.

[Nigel N]

cant wait to see them, as Mathjis said, you see the MM'd Deumers quite often, but MM'd S & L's seem rarer -Nigel

[Nigel N]
