Reverse screwback

Obverse screwback

Reverse pinback

Something new in my collection-first I must say I don't collect WBs....not really.....maybe a little......OK,here are my latest finds-the pinback was sold in January at Ebay to a fellow collector.Now I was able to trade it for some 3rd Reich stuff.As you can see it's totally different from my first one with the safety catch! This here is the real "K.M." deal.....and because it's not enough my wife has shot me the matching screwback last week at Ebay.....The stamp is clearly readable at the screw(sorry for the bad picture) and has the "800" stamped on both rings.Hope you like them like I do! Micha

I've never heard about a pinback! Only screwbacks with one or two screws! Micha

Never heard about one! Only with one or two screws! Micha

Rule No1-the better EK is the better buy! In case you must sell a damaged piece try to get your money out of it....leave it and wait for an undamaged one.A "KO" is easy to find for~100?,an "S-W" is a bit more expensive,but still not so difficult to find. Micha

To the fact that Meybauer and Godet have used the same core design at the first class I don't think this one here is a Meybauer! Remember when the Pr?sidialkanzlei and LDO numbers have showed up.So I'm with Mike here.... Micha

Why unknown? It's a "G"! Some say Godet,others vote for Glaser-for me this one comes from the Berlin maker. Micha

With best regards from "Afrika"....what do you expect from this seller? But I agree-with a regular pin this one could be dangerous! Micha

Maker Mark 1st class

Today I had a little time and so I had a closer look everywhere....and I found another 2nd class "JWS". So here are my 3 brothers-please notice the "JWS" maker mark of the 1st class is stamped upside down.... Micha

Full score,the "56" is really hard to find! I haven't seen my collection for a while,but I'm sure I've got only two of them! Micha

A bit time for the forum.....well done,that's a cross I would have bought,too-doesn't matter I have this maker in my collection! @Frontk?mpfer-what would qualify me to join the EK-Hunter club? Micha

May be I can help......give me a bit time,JWS crosses don't grew on trees! Micha

Totally crap....have a look at the price! Micha

This cross is simply crap! And not only because it's a '70 screwback.......screwback....remember the DN update a while ago with the few '70 1st classes? The screwback that was sold that day is another one I don't want to have in my collection! Micha

Thumbs up! Good one-I like it! Micha

As I'm not very familiar with Prinzen EKs-what do you think about this one? Stamped with "Godet" and "800", the core is very detailed(not the stepped core we find every week at Ebay...),Also the frame looks different to the fakes I know....so-what have I got here? Micha

Yes,the stamping is raised! Your explanation about the missing DRGM makes sense-a "common" screw as attachment system isn't enough to get a "DRGM". This one is one of the last EKs my "EK-mentor" has left in his collection! He's given up collecting totally-but I was able to get the most important pieces for my own collection. Micha
