EK 1939 Opinion on this EK1 by C.E. Juncker

[Ibrahim Ahmad]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know your opinion on this EK1 by C.E. Juncker. I was told that its a non maker marked, made before March 1941 as L/12 style numbers started after that and the PKZ numbers even later. Really appreciate for any help given. Thank You.

Cheers,

Ibrahim,

Singapore.

Seems a perfect match with mine. Is it vaulted? The core is loose and magnetic on mine. . .

Dear Bill ,

Thanks for the reply in both here and also in MCF.

Well, I hope to receive it soon, hopefully this week and 2 things that i will check out are-

1) Whether the core is magnetic

2) the EK1 is vaulted or not.

As you can see im pretty new in collecting third third reich militaria, almost 2 years, but im still learning and just bought 2 EK books by Gordon Williamson... also you might want to checkout my website, in my signature below.

Its 70% done but hopefully i'll finish it by this weekend.

Cheers,

Ibrahim,

Dear Joe,

Please help this old man, and tell me what you see that I don't see. Both hinges appear identical to me, short of having both crosses in hand for a side-by-side comparison, obviously. . .
