Kiwi bring back EK1 ?

[Greg B]

I very recently aquired this Lovely well worn EK1 non maker marked. It appears to me to be of an early war quality.
Would very much appreciate if someone can confirm who the maker of it is.

Regards
Greg

Guessing at an unmarked 65. We shall see.

Thanks Tony that was quick, I do have a 65 but that has quite a flatter finish to the black to this one.

[Jordan Wills]

I agree with Tony, a very nice worn K&Q.

Several ek-makers used different finish duringg the war.
I have a marked 65 with very matt paint, but they also come "shiny" as yours....

Thankyou everyone for the replys that definately confirms its a 65 k&Q appreciate you all for taking the time. I can see sanya its the same EK with the same details thanks for showing yours. Even the slight twist of the top of the pin matchs yours perfectly.

I just love the character and quality of this piece especially knowing one of our vets brought it back.
