DavidM Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 (edited) HelloLooks like a nice EK from the photos. Does the ring really go through a hole on the top arm, as it appears from the pictures and is this a common feature of Deschler EK2s? Edited October 21, 2006 by DavidM

DavidM Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 HelloVery, very nice. The expression 'I've got to get me one of those' springs to mind !!Thanks for showing.
hunyadi Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 (edited) Rick I hope to not offend by posting a detail from your photo. (I will remove it without question if you want) I have to point out a detail that I find most amazing about these pieces. From a construction stand point - I understand that on many EK's the Swas and the dates are 'beveled' so that they drop out of the die nicely. (mass production) However with these and some other makers that releif of the swas and the dates is nearly vertical. making it not so easy to get the core out of the die - more hand made quality to me. I like the sharp edges - like you could cut your finger on them. Just pure quality. Edited October 22, 2006 by hunyadi
Bill Garvy Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Nice example, Rick, and in much better condition; these are hard to find![attachmentid=58112]

Brett Dixon Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Here's a nice Imperial EK2 by Deschler made during the Third Reich. Maker marked 1 on the ring and the quality is just superb!
