Ek 1 manufacturer?

[Der Metzger]

Hi, I have the Ek 1. Can you assign one to a manufacturer?

Opinions as always welcome.

The core is an A14 core, the frame is an authentic one. However the reverse hardware is suspicious and has odd patina I never seen it before, I don't like it. I have never seen a cast cored EK1 with a screwback.

Summa sumarum: Looks like a "Frankenstein" cross, a cross made of fake and original parts.

I totaly agree
The anti rotation pin is used on 1939 made EK I, 1939 and 1914 models. Also after so many years a disk has to make a patina and scratch marks on the back.

I agree. early A14 cross, probably by Wagner. Too bad about the reverse.

Just curious how well this is made; could you make pictures from the side, showing the soldering? Thanks!
