Who has a new version of a 333 EK II fake?

[grueni1208]

I search collectors with a relativ new version of an EK II fake with maker's mark 333.

Maybe I have a new modified version.
My EK II has defects on frame (right side).
Please compare with your versions.

These "333" fakes are often rather crude with flaws here and there on the frame and with badly defined year dates on the core. Sharp edges along the frame are other features of these fakes.

The 1813 date is badly defined on some "333" fakes. Note how flat the ribs are in the frame.

Thanks for the pictures!

I got an EK II with maker's mark L/18 to valuation.
I have an original L/18 EK II and therefore I could good compare.
The other L/18 EK II has no features of an original EK II with maker's mark L/18. The number design, the frame and the datas are complet wrong. Only the maker's mark shows good.
AndiK and I believe it's an new dangerous modified version of the old 333 fake.
The frame is modified and the core, too. Therefore it's hard to find an EK II fake to compare.

Today I found another defect on frame (left side).
The kind is the same like on the right side, but it's not so distinct.

On your date-picture I found an interest feature.
