Opinions on this EK1 please

[Hannibal]

Dear Iron cross collectors

This is my very first ek I bought it from a small antique shop in the city of Lugarno in Switzerland. It has standard three pieces construction. I will show the marker marks later. Please give me your opinions on this ek especially about its authenticity.

Best regards

Okay....

I'll bet it's marked "L15."

George

[Hannibal]

Sorry George it's not marked L11, L15 and L58.

[George Stimson]

"L17"?

George

L/11 - marked in the wrong place,

[Hannibal]

Sorry guys but the answer is no.

Hi,

How about L21 or L73 - also markings found on this type of repro.

[Hannibal]

Nope Mike

[Frank Heukemes]

it´s marked with a smiley waving a swastika flag!

[Mike Kenny]

Hi again,

How about the unmarked version of the repro? Or the one with the large "2". L10 is another marking on these repros as well.

"Made in Vienna"?

George

[Hannibal]

Almost

Yes George this ek1 is an Austrian made example but no one has got the maker mark right yet. I will post the scan of the marker mark tomorrow.

[Frank Heukemes]

"Floch you!" would be cool!

Cheers, Frank
