EK2 "25" Good or Bad

[Stephen Stout]

I was wondering if this EK2 mark "25" is good or bad. Core is magnetic.

This is my first ek2 I got a year ago (for $180!!) and I was just wondering because I just don't have a good feeling about it.

May I please have an opinion.

Hi Stephen;
Its difficult to make a determination on originality with the pics you submitted. I would suggest a straight on shot, close up of front, rear and ring mark. I can only offer a pic of my current cross for your evaluation. hope this help's you in your evaluation.

AS stated, tough to tell, but I'd lean towards original. Looks like it might have been (poorly) cleaned, but once again, from these pics can't say for sure.
