Chay,The hinge and catch don't look right to me, but George could probably tell at a glance. I'm also not real sure about the date. I'm looking at Gordon's photos also.

[George Stimson]

Not the clearest pics....

While this EK doesn't have the hinge and pin usually seen on Mayers, there are some people (including me) who feel that this setup is a legitimate variant.

thanks guys it looks really old and as long its not a known fake like a flock im happy ,so variant it is thanks again chay

[Jim Baker]

Thanks George. It didn't look like the set up on the 26 I had. So the date looks OK?

[George Stimson]

The date doesn't scream to me that it's wrong, but I'd have to have a super clear pic of the obverse before I could make any definite conclusion.
