Schinkel VS Regular EK

[flatlander]

Would it be possible for someone with both a Schinkel EK1 and a regular EK1 to do a side by side comparision, and point out the differences so I could see what the differences are and what to look for. Honestly all EK's look the same to me. I have Williamsons EK book and still can't differentiate between the two. Thanks in advance.

Here you go, both Meybauer.
Differences are very clear visible.
The right is a regular EK1

Looks to be a touch smaller, the silver frame having less "silver frame" than a regular ek, the swastika looks smaller. Anything else I'm missing?

The basic shape is slightly different. The Schinkel version has an elegant shape more akin to Imperial EKs with thinner arms that flare out more towards the ends. The TR version is more chunky and the arms flare out from more or less from the centre.

Thank you for the information and clarification.

This type of hinge is also found on many Schinkel EK1's.
