Mike K Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) Hi,Here are a couple of SCREWBACK minis - something a bit more unusual than your typical mini. Possibly screwback button-hole devices??They make an interesting comparison and just go to show that nothing is safe though! The bigger one (right) is ~17.65 mm wide, the smaller one (left) is ~14.65 mm wide (the larger cross that is, the screwdisk is 21.4 mm diameter). The detail on the smaller one - a DOUBLE EK1/EK2 screwback ( ) is excellent, as is the construction. The detail on the larger one is poor and the screwback setup is "strange". As far as I am concerned, the smaller double screwback is a brilliant little original, but imo the larger one is a fake. It's not bendable, but is has a soft cast look to it in hand. I hope others can make use of the comparison.RegardsMikeObverse.... Edited November 20, 2006 by Mike K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryG Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yes that double one looks very nice. I would tend to agree with you about the single one. It does seem to lack the details you usually see on these small ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
