Very rare Meybauer DRGM ek1

[ben bijker]

Thanks to Trevor I could add this very rare ek1 to my collection.
It came a few days ago.
Already had one, but still .....

Enjoy!

more, side-by-side

The cross looks far better in hand, magnification isn't always flattering...

Ben,
Super - I'm jealous.

Great Ben!

One has the Meybauer frame, and the other one (new one) has the "23" frame.





So maybe Meybauer used the "23" frame after all...

Wow, wonderul!

I am still looking for my first drgm cross....

[Roglebk]

Nice Ben. Now remove the black paint and find out what caused the veining

[WEISNER]

She's Beautiful, I am in love Ben! Congrats on this new find and as Trev points out it is not a twin.... but different than the Meybauer already residing in the hoard.

Ben, you have posted some nice EKs these past couple of days and this one is the crown jewel. Seen one posted on a dealers update that was sold yesterday and almost fell over on the price. Jim

Well observed Trevor, I completely missed that, most likely because I didn’t expect it.
Another nice variation, and yes: they obviously DID use “23” frames …

@Stefan: you had2 schinkels with this set-up, but no regular ek?
That really does come as a surprise…

@Carl: very tempting, but I still prefer to leave it like it is.

@ fabri: yes, both are slightly (factory) vaulted, will try to make a decent pic this weekend.

Best regards,
Ben
