Gordon Williamson Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I could be wrong, but I don';t like the look of that GODET mark on the reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biro Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I could be wrong, but I don';t like the look of that GODET mark on the reverse.You're not wrong Gordon.Aside from the core, the marking on the ebay Godet is incorrect. You can see the small but significant differences here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biro Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) ...and a similar cross showing the same spurious 'GODET' maker mark and dodgey hardware.Godet used two cores on there 1870 EK1's..... this was not one of them!.Marshall Edited January 31, 2007 by Biro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 thanks guys!it's interesting how the close-up of the "correct" godet stamp was struck twice - i guess they didn't have very steady hands back in '70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony J Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 A double tap when striking the stamp. Usually one light tap to start so the stamp won't slide on the second finishing tap. Sometimes the stamping die jumps out a bit to cause a double tap.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
