My initial comment would be "It could be good, but I wouldn't spend more than about $25.00 without better pictures".

Unless it was nighttime, or the weather was bad, and you were running out of gas - then it was a sweaty nightmare, like a monkey f*ing a skunk.

"Coke bottle" pins are always scary, but at least its not typical (low 1939) Floch.

Ok, maybe the pictures do not show enough, as when I opened the pack and looked at this cross. The beading looked so large and defined, it sort of shocked me and I immediately said to myself: "Damn, I got faked. But it looks so good the paint and sharpness of swastika and date." The beeding just shocked me. Well I am at home with my daughter who is running a fever of 105, so had alot of time on my hand.
I took all my ek1s out to compare and actually found that the 107 has similar ( but still smaller ) beading, and all the others have much smaller compact beading. The beading could be so pronounced on this ek1 maybe because of it's condition ?
I'm haunted by this ek1, now trying to find the maker. Closest I got to is a K&Q 65, but not sure about the upper pin area . It's the corners of the beading that puzzle me too.
Can anyone compare this to any particular maker . Here is a closer shot.
