There is what looks like a mark on the ring, However cam will not pick it out clearly

Those are nice photos Justin,

I've found what works well for photographing maker marks is shooting through a magnifying glass. It takes a bit of practice, but it will produce good closeups if you haven't a macro feature on your camera.

I just select 'manual focus' and shoot...

Yeah, that's what I'm using. An EK collector can't be without one. I'm blind without it. Now, where did I put my glasses?

Hi Robert

This is the best Macro image of the mark, its not a join in the ring


I Had the dam thing 2 weeks ago, I blame the dog/kid/Her in doors, But they wont give it back

I cannot make out anything in this area. I take your word that it's a mark and not the soldered joint.

Could any one tell what maker made this, with out knowing maker mark on ring?, it was said in a past post that this is a early S&L EK2 which Core/Frame i'm still not sure?

[Robert P.]

It's an S&L with the second core, flat balls on 9's. Frame has flaws at 6:00. Second frame, IMO.

Beautiful patina.
