EK1 Authentication Appreciated

[Airborne Nut]

Hey all, Just wondering what you think of this EK1, real or reproduction?:
Front

And Back...

Shane; could we get a shot with the hinge closed from the reverse? I don’t see anything I dislike about this piece, a shot with the hinge closed would help with a possible identification of the maker. This piece is also slightly vaulted?

Thanks for the quick reply Dez, THe seller is actually our own Joeseph D'Errico, I have since purchased the piece and will most certainly post a pic of the hinge closed as soon as I get it. It is my belief that the piece is slightly vaulted as well. Thank you so much for the extremely prompt reply. Joe has a great return policy and I know from having heard from others who have dealt with him that I have nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the quick reply and as soon as the piece comes in I will post some of the pics you have asked for. Is it alright if I PM you when they come in?

Thanks agian Dez

I have heard nothing but good feedback in regards to Joe, he sells nothing but high quality pieces, you have no problems there. I am always happy to help out when ever I can mate, feel free to PM me.

Hi Shane,

The cross looks OK from what I can see. I'm thinking it might be a K&Q EK1.
