    Thanks Paul,

    Much better images.

    I'll go out on a limb here a bit with an opinion. Your EK is certainly not an award piece nor from the 1870 era. More likely a commercially acquired replacement or for window display in an effects shop. No earlier than the Jubilee era c. 1895 and possibly a little later as the quality resembles a 1914 era EK in some ways.

    Just some thoughts.

    Tony

    Tony, I agree as a part-time antiques dealer it is the equalivant of a 17 century copy of a 16 century piece, not right but not a 20 century copy, I like it (thats what maters) and its stunning to look at, thanks, Paul
