EKI Schinkel L/54

[Karl S.]

Hello All,
Metals and badges aren't my main collecting interest, but today at a local gun show I was looking through a dealers display. I mentioned to my buddy that I didn't have a EKI in my collection and I showed him this Schinkel ( I didn't know there was a standard size swastika and the smaller Schinkel one) He told me it was a rarer type and a good price so I picked it up.
About what are these worth? Thanks for all opinions.

Would not like to have that one in my collection.

I agree with Peter. The LDO came into existance long after the production of schinkle versions of the EKs ended.

Can we ask what that was?

[Karl S.]

It was under $200. I'll be taking it back tomorrow and asking for a refund. Thanks everyone for the help.

Good luck on the return. Although not the "end-all" reason a piece is no good, the price usually would be the first thing that throws up alarm bells to me ...

You are correct. "If it's too good to be true it usually is"

Your Schinkel EK I is a fake.
The complette backside is wrong.
All '39 Schinkel EK I don't have a maker's mark.

A big thanks goes to, Peter, Don, Darrell and Grueni. I got my money back the next day. It's amazing how well these fakes are made.
