This is how this junk looks like when they are new and mint. In this case a 50 marked screwback. One piece construction with glossy core paint.

Cheers.

Peter,
Do you know if this is a new kind of reproduction?
It look like they show up a lot lately with screw and needle.
Marked (mm50 and mm51) and unmarked!
But one year Ago I can't remember seeing one of these

Ben,
Glad I could help!
Even though it's normally the other way around

Best regards,
Luud

I think this type of reproduction has been around for a while. 50, 51 and 55 markings are often found on these reproductions. There is a 1914 verion as well. A KVK exist with the same metal, hardware and markings.

Cheers.

Well, obviously I haven't seen it before, but Luud pointed me to this thread.
Thank you Luud


Peter, thanks again, I'm glad you gave the final verdict on this one.

I thought I had the opportunity to aquire a rare ek, but it turned out to be a "common"fake.....
