    1870 EK II Opinions

    I've done a search, but still don't feel comfortable calling this one on my own . Can I get your opinions on it?

    Many thanks!

    A better shot of the front, and of the marked ring. These are the only photos available.

    Thanks again.

      I don't like it at all. I think is a well weathered example of
      the "Bad crown fake" core put into a good 1914 frame. It is
      recognizable by the crown's sweatband being offset to the
      right of the rest of the crown and also the very skinny "W"
      and the style of the date.

      Plus--It's maker marked. Never trust a maker marked 1870 Ek2.

      Here is a better shot of a bad one.------

        To the crusher with this one, for the reasons Greg mentioned.

          Thanks Gents. I had a feeling that was the case, but am still learning.
