DavidM Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 HelloI have seen this 1870 EK2 for sale and would like to buy it, but I am wondering if it is the real thing or not. Any help and advice will be warmly welcomed. Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Murphy Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 David, It looks liike a nice original to me. The core looks to be sand cast as were the originals. The frame has good beading and a hump at the top is always a good sign for a quality original piece. Good luck.Dan Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Hello DanielMany thanks for that. This is the first one these that I will have bought, (yes, I've taken the plunge and ordered it - it's from a reputable dealer, so fingers crossed), and I have only ever seen one 'in the hand', hence my posting on here. I've done what reading up and research on these I can and was pretty happy it was ok, but it's always good to other opinions - especially from those with experience of these.So thanks for the reply. When it arrives I'll post more pictures of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
