I have recently aquired this EK1. It is of a single piece construction and manufactured of brass. It is marked L/17 on the pin. As can been seen on the reverse the rim and reverse at one time had a silver wash applied to it. The 1939 is unusual in the style of lettering and the fact it is a rounded three.
Is this a manufacturers show piece, I have heard about before ?
I am sure that this is a period item.
However I may be proved wrong by the more knowledgeable who may laugh and say fake !
Thanks
