Concerns over '4' marking

[Robert P.]

Has anyone seen S&L's '4' like this? If you have please post so I can see it, please. It seems odd and different than most other marks by this maker, do you agree?

Here's a similar mark on a KVK 1 with swords.

I have seen them a couple times in this font.

Well, that's all good to hear. It's a nice S&L EKI I have on hold. I'm used to seeing marks like these from S&L, so this mark threw me for a curve...

Thanks,
Robert

Do you have pics of the rest of the EK?

[Robert P.]

I'll have to do some downsizing before I can post. Give me a few minutes at it...

...I'm not really sure I like this EK. The finishing to the frame is very poorly executed for an S&L. You'll see...

OK, here we are. I don't really care for the finishing on this piece. It seems it should be much nicer, especially for an S&L...any thoughts?

Sorry Robert, I have no problem with that cross, a bit soft on detail, but I would take it.

I'm still pondering the thought, Munster. When I move on something I like to be 100% certain I want it. I'm glad to see the maker mark is accepted by others. That was my main concern anyway.

Thanks

Hi Robert,
Try this 4

[Erickn]

About face

[Robert P.]

Wow! Now you're talking my language! That's the nicest S&L I have seen in a long time. They are just the best EK made in my opinion. That mark is really close, if not the very same.

Thank you,
Robert
