More EK 1 s to the test

[DasEiserneKreuz]

Oh yeah, we got some Flochs here.

[Laurence Strong]

Ok I could agree that #1 and #2 are Floch's. But to me I dont think #3 is?

[Bjumpa]

OK Larry i will do that....

[DasEiserneKreuz]

Laurence,

You are right, the last cross is not a Floch.

[Laurence Strong]

Hey I am starting to get the hang of this

[Calvin Hall]

Sorry, with the quick glance, all look like fakes.

I agree.

[Dez H]

I agree.

Not for my collection ether.

[Luft62]

In my opinion, all are fakes.

The first two are Flochs' and the third one looks decidely dodgy because of the ribbing, crude finishing, overall appearance and it's a one piece EK1, but don't examples of one piece EK1s exist?

Has anyone got an example of a genuine one piece (non-magnetic) EK1 they can show?

The pin on 3 looks strange to me. Cannot see the front too clearly on this screen...

[Frank Pacheco]

The first one and the second srewback look like they have the low 1939 common to Herr Floch. Also the hinge and catch on #1 are Floch.(I have a L/15 Floch I picked up about 5 years ago that has the same exact hinge and catch) The third one looks one piece with a bad paint job. I am no expert but have gained some good knowledge from being on this site. The best thing I ever did was joining this Forum Best $25 I Ever Spent.

Take Care,
Frank

Thanks

Thanks for all the replies.

I understand that I am Floched. They have to leave.

First 2 EK 1:s shure look like Flochs to me also, not certain on the last one though.


Here are a link to some excellent Floch pics (different types)
