EK1 1914, non-magnetic

[avensis2000]

Hi,

I have tried to search information about this but couldn't find similar... I'd like to get some opinions about this before purchase

Weight 22 g
one piece construction (as far as I can see)
Non-magnetic
vaulted - not straight

For me, it looks ok on front side, but the attachment behind I am not so sure about.

I have quite a little experience on EK1's so help would be appreciated

Save your money, a well known fake, very common.

The most common fake on ebay right now.

Now that is a true collector response, wish I had the foresight to copy every image of every fake I came across.

Thanks Greg and Jesse.

I should've undestood that myself too without asking, but better look stupid with money, than stupid without money

Too true, unfortunately I have often been the latter in the past.

Not everyone but enough give a person a good view of the variations of this
particular fake.

Hi,

Thanks for comments. Before returning this to seller, I'd want to raise this up one more time and ask if there's any other opinions? I consider it as a fake now, but there's a small doubt with me because the quality of this is way beyond the ones Greg posted, which ones I would've easily considered as copies... Even though this would be fake, I'm considering to keep it with "fake price" if seller agrees, since it is pretty good looking "live". If need better pictures, I can arrange them.

Thanks (and Greg, I also appreciate the effort showing all those pictures)
