EK1 by KO - Variant w/ Large Hingeblock

[jwburchell]

Here is an EK1 maker-marked "KO" below the pin retaining clasp. I believe it is one of the four known, period original core types - this one having a large hingeblock. I found an apparent identical example in this thread:

I am seeking confirmation - or otherwise - as to my EK1 shown here, please.

Thanks and regards,

Can anyone familiar with these confirm - or comment otherwise - as to whether or not the EK shown is a legitimate, period "KO" piece, please?

Thanks,

Hi John,

I think it is period and OK. Not one of the more delicate versions,

Best regards,

Thanks for your feedback, Michael. I agree.
