And yet another EK1 - Meybauer counterplate and screwdisc

[ubisacco]

Hello there,
now i found this one, Long searched for, Long waited for. And yet...doubt is allways there. The odd Details as allways.

Please give me your opinion about the cross i tryed to depict here in detail. The countercross is not magnetic, nor is it the nut. But i have serious doubt if the countercross is silver, i never saw silver get a blistering like this. Since the nut has no hallmark i suppouse it's no silver also. It bothers me that the latter looks kind of fresh, or at least in a better condition than counterplate and the cross itself. Also the "G" from the D.R.G.M. is not completely there.
The step surrounding the bead rim is in parts very shallow or very slim. There is a good Patina so in parts you need to search it with the fingernail to see that it is really there. Maybe it saw too much heavy polishing.
Ok, thank you for your opinions.

Kay is correct.
Spot on Meybauer

[ubisacco]

Oh, i am glad to hear that.
Tell me, is it Common that the counterplate isnt made from Silver? Cause i insist that is no Silver.

I had one with the cross plate stamped for silver. I also seen one with very low 500 region stamped silver. But who cares? Iti s a lovely cross.

Couldn't agree more. It is a great cross.

The backing plate of mine is stamped "500"

You are right, thank you for your comments.
Anyhow ist a long time not seeing one to be sold, at reasonable price. So i may prefer a backplate made of silver, but in any case i prefer to have a Meybauer than not to have.

At MOREL5000
I remember your cross with backplate!!!!!!
Very well. You offered it here in the e-stand, and we wrote us about it, and more than that: you made more than a fair Price.
And i was so completely bankrupt at that moment
Since then i have been looking.

Glad to see you now got a nicer one, with a nice Meybauer mark on the cross and without the PM mark on the small nut disc!

Best regards,
