Thanks for the feedback everyone,
Ironically, I did not set out to acquire a "We" stamped Werner EKI. The seller sold it to me as a "WS" which I believe is Wagner and Sohn. It was only when I showed it to the forms that people more with more knowledge than I said it was "We" stamped on the cross.
VtwinVince had requested some more photos of the EK2 case (see below)
I have a few Imperial EK's in my collection to share
1. EK1 pin back stamped "We" attributed to J. H. Werner
2. EK1 vaulted screw back, stamped "800" with "slant W" core (unknown maker)
3. Cased EK2 stamped "SW" Sy Wagner

Hello,
I was wondering if I could get an opinion on this 1957 RK I picked up
I shown it to a few people and I have got a mixed consensus on what it actually is
What is certain is that the core is the 2nd pattern and it is iron (magnetic). It also has the original style loop
What is uncertain is the frame. Some say it is a "C" frame, some day it is a "D" frame.
From what I understand "D" frames were non-magnetic cores but maybe this one is an oddball
Any opinions would be much appreciated as I am just trying to narrow this down for my own knowledge
Thanks
Cory
