Thanks for your help Andreas,
your boxed EK1 looks splendid , you have the original finish on yours, mine has been polished at some stage. I have been following the folch info and believe of my 4 EK's one EK2 is a folch, it was the very first TR piece I was given some 25 years ago, the EK1 here, I acquired at auction so I was a little concerned, the other two I have, have come with a little history from vets family so I have little concern about them being original,
cheers
