EK1 S&L Good or Bad?

[dc9]

Hello Everyone,

Trying to make a quick purchase and looking for opinions on this supposed "4" MM'd EK1. Core is magnetic. Seller isn't savvy enough to understand 3-pc construction, etc. Sorry, but these are the best pictures I could get.

Thank you.

Patina

Thank you, Fabri,

I was quite surprised with the patina myself - I love the aged look and was thankful the previous owner (who literally found it in a coffee can full of "junk" - unfortunately, no history) didn't try to clean it!

This is what keeps us hunters going.

I see you are looking for some specific DKiGs; please keep me in mind if you find an extra Cased DKiG MM 20 light or heavy in your searchs...

I agree with you, aged look is the best for the greater part of medals. We must not remove the old patina absolutely... it seems to remove a part of its history.
Special consideration is for frosted crosses in my opinion: in this case I love front side in mint cond.

Ok if I 'll advise you if Imeet a lovely mm 20
