1870 EK1 screwback

[Tony C]

Hi,

Thoughts on this EK1?

I have no idea about Imperial medals, sorry for the quality of the pics.

Thanks, Tony

common fake. These turn up on eBay all the time both with pinback and screwback hardware always marked Deschler und Sohn. Deschler never made 1870 EKs and the Deschler und Sohn company name didn't start until 1922.
