EK1.....Good or Bad?!

[Andy B.]

Hi Everyone,
A buddy of mine is interested in this unmarked EK1. I have my doubts about it, but other opinions would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and yes, I believe it is on Manions. Thanks in advance for comments

Well the obverse matches a Souval, but the catch doesn't on the reverse.

I think it's a good unmarked souval. In very nice condition too!

Thanks for the help everyone. My concerns were the sharpness of detail, and the fat swastika. I will let him know what you think.

Hello,

nice Souval as already mentioned and the reverse fits as well.
You can encounter a Souval cross with different pin backs. This is one of them.

They also seem to have at least 3 or 4 different cores...

Souval did as i know only use one type off core, then you can be fooled by pic´s angel and more. Then you have Orth that did use both frames and core´s from Souval, and that can mix up this Souval Ek´s a bit.
