Brass EK1

[Lemm]

Can somebody look at this EK1 and tell me if its the real deal or not. The core is not magnetic and it looks like the frame is made from brass.

Are you the winner?

The pin setup is not the one associated with this type, and the needle could be replaced but it wasn't that expansive either...

Here is the usual setup:

No I am the seller and the buyer is questioning the fact that it is made from brass. From memory I purchased this cross from Klaus Butschek. I am trying to confirm if it is the real deal to reassure the buyer. So in your opinion is the cross genuine or a copy?

It is a genuine 1930's Deumer ek, however the needle could be replaced or is a variant. That is difficult to judge from the pictures. Anyway at this price, around 100 euro it is an OK deal!

I agree.

Thanks guys appreciate it. I always give a money back guarantee on authenticity so this should satisfy the buyer.
