EK 1st Class - Your experienced opinions please

[Jimbo#1]

Sirs, Ladies,

I have recently seen this EK1 and would like the opinions of the experienced forum members here to guide me to the originality and authenticity of this item. I apologise for the photos being a little graining but they are all that is available.

The seller says it is 100% original and has been authenticated by a dealer. I however am a little hesitant. Your advice will be most appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Looks like Souval

Pics are hard indeed. Im guessing Souval.

I agree, it looks like Souval. However, do a search on dipping "3" Souval.

I'm going to say this:

If the seller won't send good pix (although this looks like it could be a good Souval, as others say) save your money. There is no shortage of nice EK1's out there.

Unless it's $20, including shipping.

all the best,
Hank

All,
Many thanks for your input, much appreciated

it 's an original quite early original case.
Cross is a typical Souval but me and someone else have doubts is wartime, I am more for a postwar product.

Many thanks to all; you have been very useful in making up my mind. This time I shall pass.

Once again thanks for your help in this matter.
