Ek1 Question.

[Selinsky]

What could this be?
The hinge is positioned very high!
Its magnetic.
Hand vaulted.
Does anyone know who the manufacturer might be? Or you it is a fake?

Beautiful EK & Doc. !

Seeing the date on the document now .... I cannot see both pieces being issued together .
The cross with first pin and core made probably before 42 and July 44 document .

I agree with you about it.
I find it hard to believe that it took several years from the manufacturer until the soldier got it.

[Brian R]

It's impossible to know if a cross and document in 2016 were actually originally an awarded pair. That said, I would have no problem with a 1942ish manufactured EK with a 1944 award document.

Up to 42 as a time frame only Brian -myself I would for now guess 40/41 . I would have to see a side view of the anchor to see what construction type it is .
Any way of getting a side view of the anchor Henrik ??

Thanks, Douglas. It doesn't change my opinion, though. It's perfectly reasonable to expect old inventory to still be used for later awards.

Hard to take photo without daylight!
