Ek2 Mm 84

[AUSGANG]

Here's another 84. Last time I posted one of these it was declared fake:

But I thought I'd post the latest one I've run across. Love the sloppy 1939 date! Ausgang

Great Soldering!

Could this be of Spanish manufacture? Why would someone make these and then put a bogus MM on it that proves its a fake????

I would guess because a new collector might know crosses are MM'ed, but not by which manufacturers. The less-than-scrupulous seller could say "It's maker marked!!!" and earn a few extra $$$.

The frame shows good, but the core and especially the numbers are very suspect. Please show us the backside and a closeup of maker's mark.

IMO it's never a spanish made EK II, because they are one piece EK II's.

It does not have the same core as the other one you posted . This one has a faintly 'faned' 1939 which the the 1st one has a straight date . Do not like the date either and the ridged paint on the Swastica ! Does it have that small metal dot on the front lower left corner on the bead step ?

It looks to me like the jump ring is in the wrong place altogether, busting into the first beading step. No photos of the mm. I assume that its the same as the one in the first thread.
