original EK1??? zimmermann??

[javi_e]

hi!

i have found this EK1 in internet dealer. The description says that it is a CF zimmermann cross, but i have never seen this kind of pin, catch and hinge on zimmermann crosses.
I´m not expert but i don´t like the swas and the numbers, could it be a fake?
thanks

Are you sure it's not marked L/53 for Hymmen?

hi Robert,

difficult to see the maker but perhaps you´re right, and the shop description is wrong.

I believe so. It's a Hymmen in every respect, much more hard to find than a Zimmermann.

Robert is completely right, It's a L/53.
Compare it with mine:

Personally I find a L/53 more beautifull than a L/52.
And they are also much harder to find.

Wow! Those are some excellent examples, Luud. Very nice collectibles.

You're all too kind. As it were, I'm in the dog house for the month after buying a F. Zimmermann EKI. The wife wants/needs a vacation.
