EKII "Silber"

[Tom Y]

Thought I'd run this by y'all before I enter it in Antti's list. The core seems to be 2 piece stamped & blued sheet metal. The frame passes the "lick test" but looks too bright to match the rust on the core. It only weighs 11.26 g. Is it a or a ?

For the silver stamp you get a from me but for the condition a Maybe you should try very very carefully to remove the rust with a little bit of oil. But very very very carefully with a Q-tip or something like this.

Tom....

Looks like a very rough original cross to me, unusual with that stamp, but a legit cross in my eyes.

[Tom Y]

Thanks, guys. I'm just surprised thet'd use real silver in such a cheesy core.

Core probably looked great for the first several years. But I'd stop that rust now.

Blued cores are snazzy and rare! Sad to see it in such deplorable shape, though.
