Thanks for your comments Gentlemen,

Another picture of the rear, it also has a "800" mark on the lower arm.

I doubt that- I still train every day with young soldiers so I'm still in pretty good shape. That and my day starts at 0415 Mon-Fri. You'll still be hitting the snooze button and I'll have it back at the house.

hi gentlemen, and firstly a thanks to Kev in Deva for introducing myself and my EK1 to the forum. As explained, I have had this for a number of years and unfortunately the pictures really don't do it justice in terms of quality and workmanship, I thought personally that I'd not seen one before but delving into the old memory cells, I recall downloading a photo (For research purposes only!) a photo last year from a dealers web site unfortunately can't remember which. I honestly thought that mine was a Jewellers one-off piece, as can be seen from the attached it's not so there must be more out there, although maybe few and far between, it really is a piece of jewellery.

Thanks

regards

Alex
