Dear all,
I recently acquired a three piece construction EK1 with a non magnetic core, which is apparently zinc (not a brass core or copper plated iron core).
The cross is in very good condition, silver plating on the obverse frame intact, frosted on the reverse with a non-frosted, also non magnetic pin.
The catch is a bit crude, made of thick roundwire stock.
Is this type beyond doubt? Do you have zinc (no brass or copper plated ones) core EKs to compare?
Cheers, Frank H.
