I just got this today but I don't think it is right.

I hope someone can prove me wrong.

Two halves are coming apart.

[stukapilot]

A bad one, indeed.

[manayunkman]

Please say it isn't so.

[Mike Kenny]

I agree - a poor quality 3-piece example with definite post-war (57er) hardware.

Im afraid Mike is correct.

Not Souval. Definitely post war pin as on my 57er EK I.

Souval used the 57er hinge and pin system, too.

I think it will be a Schinkel EK1 but EK2 frame
but the loock picture looks to 12 hours
there is formed, then instead of the locking ring
and made it at back section

This is a FAKE Schinkel

Fake Schinkel EK1

Yes Souval used the pin, not sure about the frame though. A fake Schinkel in any case it appears. Can you get your money back?

[manayunkman]

Oh well. It was well bought so there is no loss.

Thank you for the help and some very interesting pictures and information.
