Very strange ЕК1 L/13

[Andre Murti]

Doubtful kind for me, very thin middle... Your opinion. All many thanks)))

Is it of one piece construction?

Is it of one piece construction?

I too doubt, it does not cause special trust in me (((

my 2 cents:
the inner corners of the outside frame are very badly finished (even though it is corroded-it still shows)
the swas and date seems alot more crisp on this than other L/13's I have on file, and the pin looks more imperial...?
How is the mm so crisp and the obverse be so corroded?
An interesting cross, I'd also like to hear more views

An old 'face', not a L/13, re-attached to a much newer (repro?) reverse.

I don't know about that. The front and back frame seem very cleanly put together. From the front, I would say this is a good EK1. Although the reverse is just odd.

Look at the difference in width of the outer frame between left and right sides on the 12 o'clock arm, can this suggest obverse and reverse frames attached and then ground-in to give a clean seam?

I dont like it. And i dont think its a Maybauer. But it can be orginal EK that have been added the L/13 on the pin. But for about 95% its a Fake
