EK1, EK2 questions

[kvspace]

Hello.

Recently I purchased EK1 and EK2 at Moscow and here have some questions. Any replies will be appreciated. With regard to EK1, I found L54 marking at the revserse side at bottom area so I convinced that my EK1 produced by "Schauerte&Hohfeld" . And then I found a question because my EK1 is pinback type. Based on the survery on the net also study at this site that I found S&H only produced Screwback type. Moreover there was no slash (/) between L and 54. Do you see any pinback production possibility at S&H?

With regard to my EK2, it perfectly matched with review of "Souval Frame" here. All those three points such as Flow, Ridge, Round that I checked. However the making on the ring shown as 8 instead of 98 or other numbers.
If you have any comments, let me know.

P.S : currently I have no right for file attachment here. I'd like to show you above examples for sharing idea of this matters.

S & H definitely produced pinback EK 1s, but there is also a fake with the "L54" mark. We'd have to see pics of yours to make a correct determination. In the meantime, here's a good "L54" pinback. Compare yours to it. (Note especially the distinct shape of the "3.") Is it a match?

Reverse.

And here's the fake. (Pictures courtesy of Detlev Niemann.)

Dear George,

They're exactly matched! The sape of 3 looks alike your example pic. The L 54 marking showing at reverse side hard to see, but design of the pin, hoke and hindge are same.


I attached pics of my EK1 and EK2 at bellow blog. Any comments will be appreciated!
