Mass weight

[Kevin Sanders]

What is the general mass weight of an EK1 with standard hinged clasp ? General range - ballpark ?

I have a friend in Munchen who is being offered one to buy and it looks flaky to me - he says his example is only 16 grams.

According to Gordon Williamson's book The Iron Cross of 1939, "L/11" and "L/55" EK 1s only weigh 15.5 g and 15.1 g, respectively.

No makers mark that I can see.... I'll post a few of his pics - thanks. He's a nice young man from Munich

Doesn't look too bad....do you have a picture of the back with the pin closed?

[Kevin Sanders]

No closed clasp pictures sent

....just goes to show you what I know - thanks. Any other opinions I can pass on ?

Back on target - here's a picture of the back with closed clasp.

Why do ask Matt Starr ? Enquiring minds want to know ?

No Kev, Just saw you were a mod and wanted to find out which forum it is bacause your name is not next to any of them, sadly I was born with an over active sense of curiosity
Cheers

Ohh I look now and see your name next to tinnies and Political, obviously born with bad powers of observation as well ( I checked 3 times earlier!!), doh,
