L/57 ek1

Just got this one in. It is nicely vaulted and came in a beat up cardboard case. Has anyone ever seen a spring used like this to keep the pin in place? Not sure who put that on there.

Great call about the spring John, that is exactly what it is; a spring from aa EK1 box.

Thanks for the other comments as well that this is a B&C with a B&C core.
