[wschmidt]

Hello People,

I put this EK1 with very worst pictures in this topic:

Now, the guy sent to me the EK1 and I take new pictures:

Sorry, this is a floch fake.

Yes...Wschmidt already knows it, as was discoursed in the other thread. Now he's posting detailed images to share and to help someone else to spot a Floch clamshell fake.

If you compare this fake with an original Deumer clamshell, you can see the very low date in the Floch, nearly lying on the frame...but in a Deumer EKI the date is more separated from the lower beading.
Of course there are more main differences... the disc screws from the original and the fake are not interchangeable.
Anyway the Floch is a very well done copy...and so is very dangerous.

Thanks Guys!!!!!
The collector sent me it, because he insisted that it was good and wanted better pictures for opinions. I also suspected that was not original when it arrived in my hands. Source: 90s of Manions ...
