Hello Ischak,

I agree that's it's an authentic Souval EKII. Jump ring not soldered to frame on reverse, rounded beading at inner corners adjacent to swas and extended centre beads in each of the 8 corners of the arms being a few of the indicators.

Also interesting to note, if my eyes do not deceive me, is that the die flaw normally associated to the obverse 12 o'clock arm appears on the 3 o'clock arm on the reverse. I also see adjacent what appears to be a crack in the frame. I wonder if expediency was the order of the day and the assembler just flipped it around. Out of sight, out of mind.

Regardless, a nice piece.

Regards,
Stu
