Since this is a special case of something that belonged to a deceased veteran family member, I think you should have Maikaifer's permission first.

Does the 113 cross shown in the 2 examples here match the die characteristics of any known original EK1 or 2? And does anyone have closeups of a 113 EK2 they can post here. I'm just wondering about its origins, if it is a casting or some kind of upgrade? Thanks

Sincerely,
Ray

There is no doubt to me that the EK1 here is a fake. Here is a KVK fake. It is not exactly the same, but look at the catch and the forced patina. The style is similar between them. I would not be surprised if it is the same fake producer for both of them.

Here is food for you.
