Opinion on unmarked EK1

[Rik]

Hello guys, in the thread below I've posted an EK1, can you take a look at it and give me your opinion on this one.
I think it's a one piece construction.

Thanks.

Below are photos of one type of EK1 fake. The hardware on these pieces can be found on other fakes like fakes of the horse driver badge. These EK1 fakes all have semigloss core paint and artificial patina. One can often encounter these fakes on offer at Ebay and i think they are made in Poland. The quality of these fakes is never up to standards generaly used during the Third Reich.

In my opinion your EK1 is a fake. It is the same or very similar to the fake i describe here.

I see what you mean, really thought it was a good one because it came in this lot with all original things. But as often that says nothing.
Thanks for your reply and the picture with it, it makes things much clearer.
I'll contact the seller regarding this.

The EK1 is going back where it came from, the seller did not made a problem of it.
