Am I wrong if a think this EKI is a W&L?
It is a beauty to look at.

Yes, a W&L with the round wire catch.
Can't comment on the case though.

I agree with Adrian, EKI is beautiful with this frosted finish, unfortunately case is not so good.

I like the cross much but don't like the case too...

Yes correct as W&L EK1 :
The Rhodium finish type frosting is a trademark of that maker . Just to add that this cross is one of the first ones that came out with that kind of new frosting finish on a now polished Ni frame and but also only at the start that still had a tombak core . A harder to find variant with this W&L 1st frame and starting bead flaw . W&L did start off with using tombak cores with the conventional white frosting on silver and Ni frames that had flat or round catches .

Thank's for your help.

I was pretty sure about this cross, but cases is not my strong side.

If I understand you right, so is this case not original or...?

In my opinion case is original but unfortunately cover is not in so good conditions.

Both original! And round catch version is also rar!
But I don't like the shadow around the hinge!

The case is good for me as well ;-)
