Ek2 mm24 fake?

[evilmike]

hello, once again after some opinions just recieved this in the post and i think it might just be a lemon, sold as original paid original price so iam hoping it is but i strongly have doubts.

it is magnetic and seems to be made of a seperate core, the outer rim is all solid so looks like one... or very gd soldering :P

the markers mark isnt like one ive seen before... (not that ive seen many) it just looks abit odd. hopefully being paranoid heres some piccies

cheers mike

Perfecktly 24, look at the small ring for any extra mark

Looks ok,

I am assuming when you wrote it was magnetic, you meant the core?

The frame should be non-magnetic.

Try picking the cross up by a magnet on the tip of one of the frame arms.

It's got the correct wide frame also.

Hello,

I do not see this as being a fake.

Hi Mike,

I think it's great! I've had 3-4 of the 24 marked EKIIs, and all the 24 stamps I've seen were poorly stamped like that. The same with the 25 marks (the other Hanau wideframe manufacturer).

Best,
Greg

Newbie alert? Don't sweat it Mike. Thus far all your crosses have been good.
