EK1 identification

[martin3]

Hello all,

I would like to hear if someone can determine the maker of this one.
Of course I have been searching the dbase already, and my thoughts are a Klein & Quenzer A.G., alias 65.

Am I right?

This was my first cross ever, so it always had a special place as well in my collection as in my heart.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Martin

It's an original EK I by Meybauer.

Aha!
Then the hardware confused me...
As you never seem to fail me, I am dropping the 65 idea immediately!

Thank you once again, Grueni.

Best regards,

this is a brilliant piece indeed!

The distinctive hinge and pin system was only used by Meybauer.

Thank you!

Grueni, I was confused by these pictures, that made me think it was a 65:

Now I see the 65 has a slightly more bend pin at the hinge, I believe?

Best regards,
