            Good question.

            These are the only pics posted. It's almost like the "over-spray" shadow you see on some EK1s from WW2

                  WOW - 2K! How old would a vet be to buy that in 1939ish and wear it. Hmm, maybe it was for casket decorations...

                    Interesting is the severe Flawing on the 9 oclock arm ... that is NOT present on the 3 oclock arm ...

                      Hardware looks like S&L - so does the crown. The beading has some bad flaws, so I'm thinking this is late production, possibly even post-war and towards 57er timing. It would be interesting to see the edges of the frames on this one to make sure it has not been taken apart and the core (date) messed with.

                      Regards

                      Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!

                      If you PM/contact me without the courtesy of using your first name, please don't be offended if I politely ignore you!

                        Was there such a requirement? I've never seen or heard of a TR 1870 EK production run ...

                          Perhaps for a Patriotic display.

                              I don't know about this one, but I know for sure that they do exist. I just missed one at a gun show about 35 years ago. As far as I know, the guy that bought it still has it. It was a stunning piece, as I remember... Tom
