The Ugly Cross I've Ever Seen

[wschmidt]

Hello Guys,
Send me pictures of this EK2. IMO is fake, but I have another opinions to convince the seller.
Regards,
Schmidt

Not the best condition, but an original K&Q imo...

I agree with Ben

[Dansson]

Looks like a K&Q yes, but I believe this is a casted fake of a K&Q.

[August von Mackensen]

It looks like a 3 piece construction in my eyes.

It's three pieces and not cast. And original IMO.

[Jeff V]

What about the core repaint. That does not look factory done.

I see it as a good 3 piece K&Q EK2 - paint curling on the edges .

Agree, original K&Q with bad repaint.

Looks like a K&Q yes, but I believe this is a casted fake of a K&Q.

Well, if it is a 3-piece construction it's authentic.
If not... then not.

Can you ask the seller if it is a 3-piece construction?
Can be easily tested with a magnet as an authentic K&Q should have an iron core.

Reason I have doubts is because the frame has bad detail, especially the left side arm beadings.
