and its looking like it is painted high gloss ,,,al together not a good sign to me, ( some high class jeweller repair or so ?,, no ) ....

the cracks I dislike the Moore I look at them,,,

someone asking me ,,I wood pass it .as I do not trust this one.

all do I know it can be possible ..

kay

only one thought that is bugging me ,,looking at this ,,

cracked core's are a bit uncommon at the 1914 era ...

this is looking like a typical dubbel break off the awarded era ...

petting this ek in a different category to me...

ps ,,pin looks like a maybauer

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE DUBBEL SCREWS

I WOOD SAY MOORE CLOSE TO GODET PIN AND HINGE ,

look fore a jeweller who repairs clocks ,,,,

or a traditional jeweller

modern jewellers are amateurs no matter what kind off jewellery they sell and how high they're prices are

only the traditional jewellers or clock worker is able to repair these kind off damage

at the time this fake was found ,,A lot where found at Ebay and on shows

and still there many around ,,,,

a real attempt to fool collectors ..

don't know what time they are from ,,or,, who made them,,, .

but study the original ek's before you buy ,,not the copy's.

Wagner 1870 and godet 1870,,,fore a start

one off the first tell tell tales in this fake is counting the jewels in the crown

nr 9 is bigger then all the others .

9'th bead

this is the second time i seen the mark off koch & Bergfelt ..

on top off that it is a pinnner ..

at least I know now its real ..

don't know how many times I chose the wrong path ,,,,,,grumble,,,,,

before i forget ,,my new distraction from 2009.

and thank you all fore you're nice words

since I started collecting ek's I have bin repeatedly put off direction into other side directions ...

this collection is the end result off it ,,,

aim surely happy with it ....

hope you enjoy it to

regards kay

a type ,,,,,time off production is a thing that I do not know

but it looks very much as the 1870 's that wood be seen as period to 1870

regards kay

ain't that a maker KO ek ?

I thought that core belongs to the maker KO ?

never saw it in combination with WS before ?

maybe aim mistaken here ?

there is no Recession,,,,fore those who see there hobby costs also as a better way off doing a investment fore the future....

sorry to bumb in like this ,,, (aim almost never on this forum)

but this ek is interesting ,, a hard nut so to speak ...

but I do have a price list from Deutscher offiziers verein from 1902 ,

were they advertise with all sorts off 1870 rewards ,,including ek1 and 2

(so aim always on the watch fore ek's that maybe, can be from that time )

just wanted you all to know that there are also 1902 period ek1 1870 and 2's

al do I don't think its NOT up to the quality DOV provided to its members in general in those day's

but who knows what more jewellers where producing rewards in those day's

( the soldering wood be interesting to see )

hope its no useless info

regards kay

well done ,,a silber marked ek

these crosses become you're speciality isn't it ?

congratulations
