Replacement Ek1 beauty (opinions?)

[bratwurstdimsum]

Ok...Ok...Ok....

pLEEEASE say this one is good to go!

For all you who don't know I was floched yesterday, and a rude awakening it was!

Today I took it back and the dealer was surprised, not knowing what Floch meant but took it on my word and I replaced it with this....Looked at first like a K & Q but the '3' isn't quite right and the top of the hinge is tapered up instead of parallel....

Hi,

Looks like a good early Meybauer to me.

Hello,

I would not have any problems with that cross.
It is an unmarked Meybauer with the first shape of needle.

I have got one just like it... may I ask how much the dealer was charging for this one? Cheers, Torsten.

Thank you thank you. The dealer didn't charge me more per-se but this one came with an etui so I paid and extra $50 for it...has to be bargain of the day!

$50 for the case of of course very good and I guess that would Au$?...even better... question was really though, how much the dealer was charging for this EK on the ticket, how much would you have had to pay to get it without the exchange? Cheers, Torsten.

Ok...long story, do any of you remember the late 1957 RK I was asking for a trade not long ago? Well eventually, I was offered AUS$400 cash by this dealer, he gave me the AUS$425 Floch for it, when it was shown to be a fake, he offered me this AUS$475 cased Meybauer for only an extra AUS$50!!

God I love this forum!

good deal... Cheers, Torsten.
