EK2 Bar on the estand

[Danny70]

Hello all...

Regarding this EK2 bar on the estand (bar no. 2),
IMO, the EK looks like the so-called "Stuttgart fake",
What are your thoughts?

I agree 100%.

I noticed it has Souval frame lines in corners, but did not remember it is also connected with stuttgart fake. Ah

So the bar is a modern put together.

I noticed the corner detail too, but without the real "chicken feet".
Not a good cross.

On back part of the bar we can see that it was opened unfortunately to replace the orginal cross with this fake..

Are we sure this cross is a fake?

I feel myself 100% sure, date is known and already seen on other fakes too.

To me there is no question.

• They began to appear in great number within the past 5 years, but were never seen before;
• They appear as EK1s with obviously fake pins that match nothing original from the period;
• They are found with different marks, none of them matching legitimate maker's marks;
• They are sold by known fake-pushers;
• They are not sold by reputable dealers.

I was the one selling the bar originally...as with the first thread on this, it was pretty clear the cross is not original and the sale was pulled.

Bought a few years ago in ignorance by me and I am not afraid to admit I made a mistake and would not want to pass it along as original.

Not wanting to be marked as a ' fake pusher ' I just wanted this fact to be known.

I will probably sell it off in the bazaar section.

Thanks,

Glen

Hey Glen,

Nothing against you -- we all saw you pulled it immediately. Thanks
