    Imperial EK1 rarity stats!


    Recommended Posts

    In light of public interest and a new book that is "in the works", I've decided that it's time to include Imperial EKs to the stats department in more detail. The main focus of this thread are the 1914EK1s, allthough you are more than welcome to add 1870s pieces too. 1813EKs aren't included for the simply reason that they did not have any makermarks (at least at the time of awarding) nor did they have makers that are known today and that could be traced to a manufacturer.

    So once again, I'm asking for your support and endurance. Oh and there is just one other thing, there is a similar stats thread going on in WAF, so try not make any double posts. So you're going to have to make a choise and stick with it as I've made. I'll post my EK1s here and EK2s there.

    Thank you in advance.

    Remember that all EKs are magnetic pinpacks by default.

    Here is my one and only tribute to this thread:

    "WS"

    1 cased

    Hi Antti-do you want to count only the EKs with a maker mark or also the ones with just a silver contest stamp? I ask because there are some variations you will find only with a silver content stamp-for example the one stamped"Silber..or just "938".....a very filigran EK with a blued core-my absolute favourite of the 1914 EKs. And your WS-it's the one with the maker mark stamped in a little box or the other one with the slim pin? Totally different ones in my eyes.......

    Regards
