My First EK1

[Stu W]

Have a look here...

Hello lelez,

Have a look at this link. It's to a short article about EK construction that will explain such things as core and frame.

The core doesn't look like a standard Deumer core to me. Also the way the beading has been filed down suggests that this cross was once denazified. Looking at the photo you can also see evidence that the frame has been spilt at one time.
This cross has a text book Deumer frame and pin system but, imho, the core was once denazified and then later on was replaced.

Stephen
