A few EKIs

[Spielhahnjaeger]

Need to borrow some expertise once more (been doing a lot of trading). How do these EKIs look? There'll be more added.

[plaut]

IMO nothing wrong - S&L and Souval

[Robert P.]

I agree with Michal, original crosses.

[Spielhahnjaeger]

Thanks, guys! How about this one? And which of the three is the most desirable, in your opinion?

[Hank C.]

This one appears to be a Floch, so it's the LEAST desirable....

The one to the right of the Hitler Youth badge is a Floch fake.

[Jordan Wills]

I agree with Hank and snoopy, the last EK1 posted is a Floch fake.

[Spielhahnjaeger]

Thanks, guys! Gonna avoid that one. How about between the other two? Obviously some condition differences, but is either manufacturer more desirable?

[Jordan Wills]

That's a hard question, IMO a screw back is more desirable than a pin-back but Souval (L/58) is the least desirable maker.
So then it come down to condition I would prefer the S&L if I was only going to keep one cross.

For me there is no question, I would buy the pinback 4.

[Tony T-S]

Yep, me too. If you can get both the first two even better.

[Danny70]

Without a doubt, the S&L pinback.
