EK1 & EK2 collection

[evilmike]

Well Celebrating a week off and a new camera ive decided to take some piccies of my small collection of EK's. A few are unmarked so if you recognise the maker.... thanks for looking, mike

Cased EK1 mm 4








Cased EK1 mm 26 Not from the 1999 hoard, this came from the family, (well the husband selling off his wifes grandfathers EK1 he was KIA in 1944, probably why its remained so nice other than bit of spidering thumbs up for ebay on this one)








uncased EK1 mm 26





Cased EK1 mm 65







Unmarked EK1 by Souval







EK1 unmarked, Vaulted with a loose core, anyone recognise the maker?










EK2 mm24






EK2 mm 55





EK2 mm 65





EK2 mm 113





EK2 unfinished, this was liberated by one of my distant relatives the frame has been assembled upside down, the marker for the ring is at the bottom! i'd love to know the maker for this, maybe it was taken from the factory?








Brass Core Souval EK1










Unknown Maker on this one








Another Unknown Maker but with a nice green case







KVK mm4

Excellent stuff Mike, can't believe you've had the time to amass such a collection of EK's in the short time left between hunting for HJ Knives
Ant.

[evilmike]

thanks, just need to get into these die flaws and maker id now, looks an impossible task respect for those guys that are hot on the subject!

[zambrotta11]

Hello Mike,

I'll try to help you with some of the makers.
I think the EK1 in the green case may be a Fritz Zimmermann (6).
I think the EK1 before that is an unmarked B. H. Mayer (26).
I hope this helps.

Regards,
Stephen

[evilmike]

cool, thanks Steven if its another mm26 ive got plenty to compare it too! those two have replaced pins so the reverse doesnt give any help in identification that way

Getting there slowly i can spot a shinkle and souval frame now

[zambrotta11]

Hello again Mike,

I was looking at the final two crosses and I think the unfinished EK2 is a S&L. Also the unmarked EK1 with the loose core looks like a S&L but the pin seems different to a regular S&L pin.

Regards,
Stephen

once again many thanks, i shall have alook at my marked no.4 when i get home and see if i can see the similarities myself!
