    EK 1-opinion please

    Hello
    Looking for opinions on this EK1. Core isn't magnetic. It's a good period item or fake? Sorry, but these are the best pictures I could get.
    Thank you.

      IMO an original, but I'm not sure about the maker.

                Hi Szymek,

                Is it 3-piece construction? And how does the pin compare to W&L hardware (below):

                Just a thought. I am no expert.

                  Hi Szymek :
                  The cross you have without a doubt is a very nice S&L 1st frame with a worn 1st core . And a harder to find tombak core as well !!!

                    Hello,
                    of course I respect all opinions but I never seen an early Meybauer like this.
                    The early Meybauer is common, sometimes is marked on pin, I have one, has the same catch like this cross ok, but pin is diferrent, date is differente.
                    Trevor shares pin normally used by W&L, it has the same form but the other pin has rounded sides so it 's not the same pin...
                    Paint was burned to have the aged look, to have little parts of paint missing.
                    All of this in my opinion.

                      Douglas is correct, an early S&L. I have one just like this. The beading, core, hardware, all early S&L.
