Is this a TR or 57 Imperial EK?

[Scott Powell]

I have been offered this EK1,and am curious if anyone can tell me if it was made during the TR era,or after 1957. many thanx in advance!

I don't like it as a TR or 57er. Maybe Trevor will join in on this one.
He's studied these "closed 4" crosses more than I .

thanx for the quick reply Greg,much appreciated. It dosent look like any period Imperial pieces i have encountered,so i assumed it was either TR or 57

Scott,
Some of these closed 4 crosses are good so please don't just rely on
my opinion.

Greg I am VERY appreciative of your opinion, I know just enough to be dangerous

I agree with Greg; I believe this one is a recent fake, but in truth I've not seen the hardware before. However, the person who makes these is constantly trying new pin styles, so this may be the latest.

definitely not good

Definitely no good, pins looks like the a slight variation of recent fakes, but with an addition of the the circular baseplate for the the clasp.
Cheers

Hi Scott!
I can say for sure, this is not a 57 period design, or 57 hardware!!
