Actually AWS used stamped steel to make 1870 EK3 in the later 19th C. In the early 20th C., some 1870 EK2s had either 800 or 925 stamped in the ring.

I wouldn't rule out a legitimate, later replacement piece with a non-magnetic core without seeing photos.

Is the EK3 a typo? Should it read EK2?

There are usually good copies on Manions , some of my friends buy them for playing not for original medals .
