Opinions on an EK 1

[Das Reich]

thanks again guys. stefan your insight is absolutely amazing, and darrell....dang!! i have been educated in these few frames "100" times more than all the reading i have done for quite a while. well, he sent another couple of pics of another unmaked example he has. hey!!! if its a genuine article, ill take anything other than a complete loss!!!

here they are:

even though it has some of those floch characteristics, the catch does not seem to be so....maybe???? please....im here in wishful thinking!!!

Not a floch .. you can rest easy

This one looks ALOT better. The reverse looks more like a "100". The low date on the obverse picture looks better as well.

A closeup of that squished beading would seal the deal for me

[StefanK.]

that one looks a lot better


as darrel already said the cross has all characteristics of a genuine EK1 1939 by "Wächtler und Lange". very nice and textbook example. you can trade your floch without any bad thoughts.

IMO that 100 you show as nr 1 is a fake, i have the same 100 and it match those L/54 107 fakes. You can find pic´s off my one in a tread not long ago.

mikael,

that is not type of fake you mention. the nr.1 cross is a typical souval cross.

[meriksson]

The first EK he did post on this tread is a typical fake like My one markt 100, i cant see any Souval in either my or his....

I doubt that. From what I can see the frame is Souval.

[meriksson]

Well ok i can be wrong but i would like to see a better picture off that front, im gona compare my one that dont have any Souval stuff whit my 1950-60 made Souval whit no Souval "orginal" frames.
Mikael

No match from my Souval 50-60, i wish i could show how bad my 100´s rim are made. Never seen any soo bad done before.

[Dietrich Maerz]

Mikael,

here's the unmistakably trademark sign of a Souval. The cross in post #1 has it, too.
