Could this be a good EK2 1813?

I collect 1914 EK's, but I'm a novice on 1813 crosses.
Could this be a good one?

Thanks!

No. The back is from a 1914 cross. So I suspect foul play

Best regards,

This is a 1914 EK2 that someone has modified to appear like one of the early designs of the 1813 EK2, with half-loops soldered on top for suspension.

As far as I know, no EK2s were actually manufactured with this suspension system, but original drawings do exist of it. So people fake them from the drawings.

Thank you

Hey Trev! Agree!

Here's mine to compare, hope it helps you?

I think you just post that one to make me jealous Greg

Here is the design from which the fake is made.
