EK1 - Need Help To Find Maker ID

[5tefan]

What maker could be this EK1?

IMO it's an S&L, but I may be completely off..
What is your own guess Stefan?

Hi Ben,

This pictures were from my 2010 pictures collection.
It was named with S&L. But the catch is unusual and the frame has not the inner frame defect. The core match to S&L.
The pinsetup and frame combination is more early Orth (15), but the Orth point is missing!
I'm not 100% sure in this case and maybe some one have an identical EK1 ;-)

I would agree.

I noticed now I did not post reverse to my S&L . Not all of their dies have your T-frame . I can see some small chipping in that corner on mine and some bead cracking starting on the 9 0'clock arm .

Hi Douglas,

Did you see, that the catch and the inner frame structur does not match to my EK1 ?

[Douglas 5]

The frame is still a match - quite a difference in die wear how ever .... but still from the same maker - S&L . Took one arm - 9 o'clock one for the comparison . The pin set and its componants are secondar componants that sometimes can be used with the primary front features . The frame and core identify the maker first .
