Hi there,

Is there any chance this non-magnetic 1957 EK is the real deal ? Thanks in advance for your help.

Looks fairly typical - right catch and pin for a 1957...

real and real...
That 1957 was made in the 80´s to 90´s.
You will find that it has paint on the frame. It was made for collectors.
Wait until you find a early 1957 EK1. Those was produced for the German veterans. One clue to look for is the needle hinge. It should sit high up.

Here is one example of a early one.

Cheers.
Peter
