Refurbished EK1?

[jacquesf]

I found this EK1 here locally and would appreciate some comments on it. It has been repainted imo, but is the base cross OK? Many thanks. Jacques

Looks like a post war souval to me.

The whole needle system should be from S&L. Also the frame could be from S&L but i can't tell for sure, because of the flash.

Interesting piece!

Hi Nils!!
You are quite correct in your observations, S&L did supply frames and hardware to Souval in the 60's, as in this blank core L/58 MM'd example......

Hey Nigel!

Thanks for your input!

Looks like Souval was quite lucky that their old core fitted into the new frames!

Best regards
