nice looking IC 1st screwback for review

I just got these two in the mail yesterday. I'm thinking of buying them. I've never had a screwback before. Might they both be navy ek's? I would like to know if they are good.

WW1 Paul M. 800 AG - original

the second one is unknown one piece maker, but a lot of collectors would say Deschler ;-) The disc is missing!!!

In my opinion both are originals by unknown makers, but are certainly not Paul Meybauer or Deschler. First one might be KAG.

I agree the disc is missing from the second piece.
