    L/13 Paul Meybauer EK1??

    Hello,
    Dont know if Meybauer made solid 1 piece EK's or not but here is one marked L/13 on the pin, gotta feeling it is no good... any help is appreciated, I just got home and it is dark, so the pics are not the best.

      Maybe a casting? Details look a bit soft, but convincing.
      Unless it was nighttime, or the weather was bad, and you were running out of gas - then it was a sweaty nightmare, like a monkey f*ing a skunk.

        I will get some sharper/clearer pics in the morning, the ribbing is better than in these pics, but we will see... thanks Hank.

          Hello Van,

          This is my personal opinion...

          I believe the Meybauer (L/13 or 7) EK1s all had a core and the "1939" is all wrong on your EK1. The 9's on your EK1 have the lower scroll ball touching the loop on the nine head: that never was the situation in the original Paul Meybauer EK1 core A or core B types.

          Please wait for someone with more expertise than I for the final confirmation of authenticity.

          Kind Regards,
          Don_

            That could be the imperfect result of the casting too.

              Thanks, Don, I looked on the forums here and the only thing that caught my eye was the catch, I did not look closely at the date though I posted a pic of it... Ill have to re-look the fakes gallery and such... thanks for the info...

                Hello Van,

                The book "The Iron Cross 1. Class" details the manufacturing process For the EK1 and it consists of a frame, a core, and a back plate with a pin assembly. If the EK1 in question is a casting, then something does not look right... ???

                Regards,
                Don_
