Souval Schinkel 'B' Type EK1

[Alex W.]

I know these are referred as post war Schinkel or "straight leg" EK1.

What exactly makes this Souval Schinkel 'B' Type EK1 a post '45 production EK1 as opposed to a late war cross that was done to simplify the construction methods ? It shows none of the typical Souval post war features like the L58 marking or the Souval claw.
I know there are also EK2 versions of this Schinkel type. I find it very interesting that both use the same core pieces.

Pretty much the Reverse hardware for one.

Hello,
I thought this was a Hymmen ek1, until I saw the reverse pin / set up.

As already said only a Postwar Souval!

Alex, the pin is the biggest give-away, it's a post-war type.

Apart from that it has nothing in common with the crosses that Souval made during the war.
The frame should be the same as on the ek1 as well, there is a small "o" slightly off-center for the positioning of the small ek2 ring..

Seen at least 2 of these with a DN COA though.......

Best regards,
Ben
