M Hunter Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Gentlemen, I was thinking of buying this affordable 1939 EK2. Can you tell me if it is a good one or a fake? I understand that the fakes today are very convincing, even being made in 3 parts with magnetic cores. Thank you Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny70 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hello Matt, Based on these photographs, I would give this cross is a tentative 'thumbs up', leaving aside the poor repair on the jump ring. It does not seem to have any of the features found on any fakes that I am aware of, but without clearer and brighter photographs showing the beading and core details (especially the inner corners around the swastika), I cannot be absolutely certain. Nevertheless, I am optimistic about it.... Regards - Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all1knew Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hello there, The cross looks good but the suspension ring has been through a lot, is that solder I see on there? William Kramer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hunter Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Danny & William, I have given this one a miss due to the re-soldered jump ring. Thank you both for your replies. Best wishes Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex K Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 i think it's good.. IMHO cross, jump ring and ribbon mount are original, Sure it's had a few knocks in its time and may have been repaired, but would not worry if the price was right. regards Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did weigh up price vs condition and in the end thought the price was too much for a piece in this shape. I can get one in better condition for just €5 more.
