    Any help with this EK1?

    This scan is of a Carl Wild cross in my collection (pin stamp 107).
    I've recently purchased it and I wonder if any member can advise me on the lower "6 o'clock" arm border. If you can see on the scan, the border is slightly slimmer at the right edge than the left.
    Is this a feature of this maker or a bit suspect.

    Dear Glenn,

    Please show us the back, it is much easier that way to see if it is real. The date looks suspicious. The 107 fake has that smaller "3" as well...

    Cheers, Frank H.

              Dear Glenn,

              I am sorry to discourage you, but it is definitely the 107 fake. The 107 original has a different obverse date, reverse pin, hinge and catch. Sorry, mate! If you still can, return it. If the seller refuses, let us know who he is.

              I alread showed this one on the L/54 thread, but here it is again. It is the FAKE:

              Cheers, Frank H.

                David Tiffin has an original 107, I am sure when he reads this that he will post it again. I would feel bad just using his scan here without permission.

                Cheers, Frank H.

                  Frank. Never good news to hear but many thanks for your reply. I will certainly be returning it asap.
                  Cheers.
