guys tell me why please. " I do not like it" does not help with any kind of knowledge

[ben bijker]

I don't like it either.
The frame and pin seen odd, and the core looks too well-preserved.

It's different then the known ori9ginals.

Sometimes it is hard to describe why you don't like an item, because it's an overall impression and gut-feeling

If i say directly, i would say this is very bad fake.

[petopoint]

one-piece

It looks to have no seams either. It looks like one of the one-piece repros with a stainless backside EKI's with bad hardware left in the elements or buried for awhile to give the appearance of a relic.

"I don't like it" IS an opinion. Opinions asked - opinions given.

I can feel with doggi
The tedence iss at the moment that nobody really say what the problem is with somethng posted on the forum I don`t kow why.
Those with the realy knowledge want this for them selfes?
In this way we can`t learn!

sorry for my Englisch but that is what i feel

Doggie, I see you're a fairly new member here. Did you try looking through any of the hundreds (or thousands) of EK1 threads here yourself? To try and help yourself to some of the "knowledge"? Or did you just post right away to have others tell you?

Don't take this the wrong way. Learning takes a long time, and most of the people here who are answering you have done that: taken their time, looked at other threads, other pictures of EK1's, and slowly learned.

It would be more effective if you had looked at a few threads at least, said "I see this ground dug cross isn't a Wachtler & Lange (or souval, or Deumer, or whatever), but I can't identify it. Can you help me?"

all the best,
Hank

Janjan, Please see my reply to doggie. Many of us here are more than happy to help. But see what you can learn from the many many threads already here, then ask for assistance.

And no problem with your English. Most of us are lost in any other language than English.

best

Sorry for my reply but you are right Hank

Janjan, I fully agree with Hank's reply.

Almost everyone is willing to help, but sometimes there are 2 or 3 thread started almost at the same time, showing the same item (or: fake).

After a while you get tired of explaining since it looks like no one is searching for himself.

Best regards,
Ben

Janjan,
You don't have to be sorry! Just keep trying your best to learn, and we will notice that. I promise. And in a year or two you will be saying "Fake!" with no more explanation.

best
Hank
