EK1 Vaulted One Piece??

[seelowe]

I would really appreciate some input on this EK1. It has some good qualities but seems to be one piece construction. It is vaulted and appears to have been that way from the factory. Is it real or a nicely done fake? Thanks for your time.

First time to see this crimped hinge base plate shape.

The hinge is actually commonly used by Schickle on the 1914 versions and WBs, and is simply a trimmed version of their standard, larger hinge.

Thanks guys for the information and great pictures. I had looked at the EK1 DNA site but was thrown off by the difference in the hinges. Your photos and pictures cleared it up. Thanks for your time and expertise.
