Hi Everybody !
A few days ago I purchased this WWII EK2.I have shown it to various fellows and are different opinions..some say "no good", others say "good" and others say "good" and points that it can be an early example :
"If early ek's were plated with silver over another base metal, then this could be one of those , It should be remembered that early war pieces were not governed by the tighter standards of later war decs and were often not marked. "
Here a some photos..frames seems to be made of cooper and plated..
Ribbon passses U.V test, iron core is magnetic..has an open joint in the ring (no marked ) dimensions 44mm per 44 mm..will very much apreciatte opinions.<STYLE type=text/css><!--td.attachrow { font: normal 11px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color : #000000; border-color : #000000; }td.attachheader { font: normal 11px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color : #000000; border-color : #000000; background-color: #D1D7DC; }table.attachtable { font: normal 12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color : #000000; border-color : #000000; border-collapse : collapse; }--></STYLE>

Cooper frame is cleary visible on this photo..
also notice that only very pure copper will oxidize dark green or lighter blue-ish green, this is the case
