EK1 L58 Screw Back ;-) Assembly NOK

[5tefan]

Hello ;-)
This EK1 looks like, that there went somethink wrong on the assembly process!
The core wasn't in the right position so that the frame damage the coating surface! I don't know why this cross passed the quality check?
Or is this cross reworked? But without this defects it's looks very nice to me ;-)

Hello 5tefan,

That's a nice Souval frame with Souval core. I have had a dozen or more of these Souval EKI, both pin and screw backs. Every single one of them had the core peeking out from under the frame. I've seen many more like that in photographs. I can't explain why they were allowed to leave the factory other than to think speed of production to meet demand was more important to that maker than was quality. Regardless it's a nice looking cross and I do not think it's been re-worked in any way.


Kind regards,
Stu
