Schinkel EK2 on the E-Stand - Opinions Please

[TobyR]

Hi Everybody,

I presently have a Schinkel EK2 on the e-stand - doubts have been raised about its authenticity, and I would appreciate your opinions. I should point out that the photos were taken outside: the result being that the cross looks more white than silver.

I'll post pics here for ease of viewing.

Thanks for looking.

All the best,
Toby.

And the reverse:

[Gordon Williamson]

Sorry to say Toby, but it matches perfectly the East European fake Schinkels that are going around, exact match on the beading, swas and dates, the uneven width of the flange etc.

[Peter Wiking]

Agree. That is a known fake.

Sorry.

[TobyR]

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Not the best news but then at least I'll know next time: a lesson has been learned.
All the best,

Toby.

[Frank Heukemes]

Yes, that´s the copy, George (unless your question was rhetorical).
