Lauer did make Ek1's with horizontal straight wire pins, and I believe there is one example pictured in "The Iron Time" (don't have it with me right now). However, the iron core details should be essentially the same as the one posted by Marshall in post #3 above. That means that the first one in this post is simply not correct. At best, it might be a later piece made by Lauer, but I wouldn't bet my money on it.
