Opinions needed on 2 EKI's, one cased.

[peterwyndavies]

I would be grateful for opinions on these 2 EKI's. One is cased, which looks very suspect. The first one is marked 20 in a peculiar place and the cased one is marked 100. I attach some pics.
Thanks,
Peter.

The second EKI is maker marked 100 on the underside of the pin, the case looks post war to me.

I dont like the W&L and also not sure about the Zimmermann either

Can only agree with Nick on the W&L, I dont like it either, does not have the usual tell tale signs of that maker.
The Zimmermann, I think is original, but its had it a little rough.

Zimmermann EK I: original
100 marked EK I: well known fake

Thanks Nick and John.
I wasn't sure about either, except that the case looked as if it was made yesterday. I have not handled many EKI's, but the Zimmerman mark looks a bit odd I thought, and I had no idea that they marked them in that position.
Thanks,
Peter.

Thanks Daniel,
That 20 looked a bit iffy, I thought that factory stamping would be a little more regular.
Thanks,
Peter.
