EK1 with maker mark "L/50" ;-)

[5tefan]

Hi ;-)

here is my new entry ;-) It came by the postman today!
It is my finest EK1 from maker "L/50" ;-)
Without maker mark, I wouldn't see a different between the EK1 from Zimmermann or Godet!
Are there any Zimmermann or Godet without maker marks?
I think thin material of the pin is silver! Is usual or rar?
Or is it even the difference between Godet and Zimmermann?

Nice ek1 for sure Stefan

I would say it is a full Zimmermann parts cross Godet put together and sold as L/50 . Do you have a staight on - side picture - of the pin anchor ?

Hi Douglas ;-)

I think, you are right, that Godet use Zimmermann parts ;-)
And I was thinking, I have found a difference between Zimmermann and Godet!
See picture!

Is that a possible difference between Zimmermann and Godet ???
Can you you check your EK1 L/50 & L/52 ??? Are there any none marked EK1 form Zimmermann or Godet? Is the material of the pin silver? I hope this are not too much questions;-)

Even this not the correct angle I am looking for - but just to show that one can distinguish some early Godet assembled Zimmermann parts EK1 crosses . This picture borrowed from William J here .
It appearse as seen here that Godet soldered the frames first and then attached the pin anchor . In doing so the frame seam soldered got soft and let the frame open up !!!! An early assembly flaw I have only been able to find on Godets sofar . Zimmermann clampt the frame halfs befor heating on the pin anchor , so this would not happen . A lot of these - what to me appears to be Godet assembled crosses - have pin anchor and catch placement lines . So the technitian knew where to attach them .
It is hard to tell because of scale if the shape of the anchor are different . There might be 2 anchor production tools/form rollers . That is I asked for the anchor picture .

Hi Douglas ;-)

I don't understand "anchor"? Do you mean the hinge?
The frame of both Godet doesn't look open up! See picture!

I hope, you mean this direction of taking pictures?

A head shot of the pin is not what I had in mind > would need one from the side to see the anchor shoulders .
