EK1 opinions pls

[evilmike]

Pin is familiar but how low is that catch, terrible piccies but any potential maker spring to mind?

not sure but it looks like the catch may be missing also

I would say that is actually a very uncommon WS with an early cast core. I've seen them (and own one) as an EK2 but never as an EK1. This is my guess based on the photos. For a really firm opinion some better pics are necessary.

Thanks for taking a look Trevor, i'll take a gamble on it, will do some snaps when it arrives cheers Mike

I agree with myself -- it's even marked WS.

[evilmike]

you know what, i looked at that this morning as i know thats where WS mark there crosses..... it just looked like scratches, i didnt even notice it in the photo.... its only the dam photo it looks like WS honest

yep its so small in the hand you cant make it out

Thanks Trevor, for ebay

I've got this core in an EK2. It's so ugly, but I love it. I have photos somewhere... it's nice to see it in an EK1, and especially with that mark.

[evilmike]

Well the chips in the paint dont help the wow factor on this one either, when you find your EK2 photos, please post them up so we can see the ugly duckling!

No prob, Mike.

Haven't been online on WAF for some time...

Nice cross! So this is the one you were referring to, Trevor?

Hope mine is indeed the same type... and hope it'll arrive tomorrow.
