Marked vs Unmarked EK1s

[Steve Campbell]

Thanks. The hardware set up does appear to be placed at diiferent spots, and the catch on the Zimmerman seems to be a little thicker.

Beautiful Godet! Shame about the scratch, but it's not too bad.

Steve, who cares!? Even if you have two similar or like items, they will have slightly different looks due to wear and aging. I think you'll be happy with both. Every worn EK is different. You did well and don't fall into the "gotta have marked ones" trap and you'll increase your collection faster and be just as happy with em in the end.

Good point Tim and that was the point of my original post. I have a new take on it here now also. I want to expand my collection over time and learn more as I go. What better way to learn about the Zimmerman/Godet area than to own two examples that I can compare in person. I bet when I get it it's going to look great. I'll post pictures and we'll see. Thanks for the positive spin guys.
