EK I - a copy?

[peterm]

Hi guys!

Is this one a known fake?

Thanks for looking in advance and kind regards,

Peter

In my opinion it's probably ok but not collectable because of the missing disc and the repaint. I think it's a Wiedmann.

I absolutely agree with Trevor, that is an orignal Wiedmann-EK1.

Could be restored though. I'll have it if its not collectable

Hi!

I'm really happy to hear that, guys! It was part of the estate of an officer I got last week. I also would have kept it, if it turned out to be a copy... but good to hear that it seems to be original!

Many thanks for Your help and kind regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,
I agree with Trevor.

Remember only this: the Wiedmann Screwback have a specific disk design on rear like this:

@max:" they also come with a "regular" disc, the typical Wiedmann disc was used on their early crosses IMO

Hi Ben,
I've wrote specific disck because I saw alwais Wiedmann with the type that I showed.

But this my personal experience, if you write "regular" disc I would ask you one pics of those to learn more.

How many exemples you found with that normal disk ??

Thanks

Hello Max,

yes, the disc you show is typical Wiedmann.
I have seen 4-5 Wiedmann with a regular disc over the past years.

Maybe these are replacements, or Wiedmann switched to the "common" disc at a certain time, who knows?

Best regards / ciao

Hi Max!

Thanks for showing this to me! I don't have much hope, that I will find one without a cross. But as I wrote before: no problem, the cross is part of an estate and I will keep it for sure - disc or no disc.

Kind regards, Peter

Original!

@ Peter: You live in Austria a "Flochmarkt land" I wish you many catch of Scraubscheide for crosses.

@ Ben: Tanks for reply, I agree with you maybe replacement, me too I've seen Souval SB with normal disk no "L58" punched over him.
My Interest during this 3/4 years is dedicated to study, traslation and understand, of the "Uniform Markt" & "Schwert und Spaten" newspaper.

I hope one day I can answer to your question: "or Wiedmann switched to the "common" disc at a certain time, who knows?"
