I have a chance to pick this EK1 screwback up but i need some opinions on its authenticity. Sorry i do not have better pictures of it.

They are probably afraid to show you the front of this EK.
I stand corrected there is an obverse.
Still not a clear picture.
I'd bet it's probably a floch.

You need to get some better pictures and if you can't get that, don't buy it. A real sharp photo from the front is perfect.

I agree with trevor! The date is sitting on the frame which is a Floch trait!
Run Away!

Yes, looks bad. The only good ones with this hardware are Deumer made and this one looks like the Floch with the date sitting low onto the frame. That's the giveaway without seeing a better picture.Comment

Fake EK1 SB
This particular SB reproduction is multiplying with all the dealers! In the past two months I have encountered nearly ten of these fakes..Comment

There are way more fakes than real ones out there that's for sure. I think the real ones are under appreciated because they are unique for the 1939 series and aren't easy to find. They don't seem to have the following that round 3s and Shinkels have but are probably less common, and they are a 1st class.Originally posted by TRAVLRSEASIA View PostComment

Looks like the post on the back of the cross is off-center. That's a common trait for many different types of repro badges (like US WW1 Collar Discs). Sureley the original manufacturer, making thousands of the saem badge, would have a precision jig to hold the post precisely centered while it was being soldered.Comment

If the obverse pic were clear it would probably look like this.GeorgeComment

I managed to obtain more pictures. But from peoples comments i think i might be passing on the sale.
