Forgot to mention, it is a round three EKI, can´t edit the title, sorry.

Hello,
In my opinion is fake or copy as you sayd.

Hi,


thank you for your post. This is what I thought, just kind of dangerous when you get greedy...

I agree it's a fake -- maybe a good EK2 core put into an EK1 frame at best. That's being done quite a bit these days. It'd be helpful to see the swastika to see what this core is, but it's not necessary to condemn this one as bad; The pin and catch are both non-standard for any R-3 EK1, same with the obverse frame.

I agree with Trevor, the catch on the reverse also appears to be the type used for zinc made medals. Jim
