hi all
just seen the official makers would it be possible the number is a 7 not a 1 ?

Hi,

I can't see your pics as the forum you've loaded them on requires registration.

A 51 marked screwback sounds ominously bad though. The market has been recently flooded with repros using this marking (stamped, incuse-relief). The same for 50 marked EK1s.

Regards
Mike
