EK2, original re-painted, with mm?? Or not?

[MASteel]

Hi,

I had this on other thread and got new pics now.
Judgement from Gentlemen was that it seems to be re-painted original.

I took some new pics, pls see below. It does look like a manufacturers stamp on the ring (reverse pic), is it 25?

Is it good one?

Thanks,
Miikka

side view + original pics from the other thread.

My guess would be rapainted.
I does not look like the kind of surface I would expect to see on a EK.

Hi Mikka,

It looks like a original 25 but poorly hand repainted or bad cleaned.

original cross, I think someone used a solvent on the original paint.

Thank you!

So original cross but probably ruined by a collector...

Actually the first pic on this thread makes it look even worse than it really is.

Thanks!

I would still say repainted, and I am not the only one with that "feeling".

Here's a quote from this thread:

The EK2 is for sure repainted but still a original

And it seems that Streptile ( Trevor) might have the same impression.

EK2 may be a repaint?

There seems to be traces of the original paint, and above that someone put on a layer of new (thin) paint.
