EK1 1939 Opinion? Strange Pin...

[wschmidt]

Hello People,
Sent to me these pictures of one EK1. The pin don't is this EK1, does it?
IMO is a fake, but may be one unmarked 24? The catch is similar to the catch of this unmarked 24...
Regards,
William

Thank You Schonbeck,

I do not wish to be rude or impose, but what is wrong with the pin and the construction.
Being a beginner I would not know what the different should be.
But anyway thank you for your help.

Alf.

The type/shape of the pin and hinge is wrong. There is not manufacture of EK1 1939 that used this type. Look the manufactures type of EK1 in the book of Maerz.
