Opinions on 2 EK1s

[wariobar]

Hi all,
Please, can you tell me what you think about the below EK1s? I may consider adding an EK1 to my modest collection. The 1st is a '100' EK1 which may be repainted (not sure ?!?!) and the 2nd is a magnetic 45x45mm with no mark.

Both are affordable, but the second is 25 euros more expensive.

Thank you in advance!


Regards,
Mario

I wouldn't buy either either of them.
The first is a fake. The other is a frankenstein of original parts, It has a W&L frame, a later Klein & Quenzer core and the reverse hardware reminds me of a Souval or W&L.

I agree, but the other way around.
First is a frankenstein
second is a fake

Agree with Ben...plus the "Frankenstein" core looks as though it's been re-painted about 6 times
