Noob asking opinion on EK1

[HerrC]

Hi all,
I myself don't know very much about EK's (if anything...). But it's becoming more and more interesting to me. While looking on the net, i find this forum. So I'd like to ask a question if you don't mind. I came across this piece and would like some info about the period, markings, maker,...
Concerning the marking, i also saw it once on an WWII EK1, same maker or faker?
All info will be appreciated.

Hi HerrC

welcome to the forum.

When I saw the upper part of the cross while scrolling down I was going to advise you to post in in the Imperial Section.

But not necessary in this case, this one is very extremely fake.
Not only that, but I have never seen an 1870 ek1 with this type of screwback-disc.

Best regards,
Ben

Pass this one by. It's a terrible fake

Thank you for the replies.
I keep finding it an odd piece.
I hope to, one day, have trained eyes in these things.
Any hints or tips are welcome! (there is probably a thread for it somewhere)
