Thank you!

The case is beat up, but the EK is a beautiful original example.

Hello,

I like the construction as well, but didn't L/54 have a curve to the marking or am I thinking of something else?

William,

You are correct, L-54 marks come in both the curved and straight box. I believe the straight ones are more common and the fakes that are out there by this maker so far are all curved.

I also think you can find Imperial EK1's with the curved maker's stamp.

Again, no EK expert here, only passing what I think is correct. George would know and he has a beautiful EK by this maker--that I am still waiting for him to sell me!!

Haha! now I understood what your hint meant for, but currently won't leave my cross over the pacific ocean.

If anyone has L54 pinback type, please post your EK1 pic here for share an information reasons. The L54 originally come up with
screw back but mine is not. Any possible reasons?
