EK 1914 One question about EK1s

[mario]

Are all double post screwback EK1s suppose to have a (cruciform) back plate, or some variants never had one?

[Richard Gordon]

I think there are many variations. My example has a disc.

richard is correct.

there are a multitude of variations, including

flat, circular discs, and flat circular discs

withholes around the perimeter to sew onto

jackets and uniforms.

anyone else with any variations?

Frankenstein! Micha!!! I would have though "Rolls Royce" would be a better term for the super rare and rare KMST twin posters!! Although I guess applying a British trademark to German over-engineering may not be appropriate?!

Mario, I think the X-plate twin-post examples are not common at all, not that twin-post EK1s are common in the first place. The large round circular plates (with varying numbers of holes) would be the most common attachment device though imo.

When I think about the variations-we have AWS pilowbacks,Deutscher Offiziersverein,marked and unmarked-we have the typical Deumer core with a big zinc washer on two screws and theCD 800 core variation,stamped always with "square" or "800",both core variations are possible!And of course both K.M.S.T variations,but they are no really screwbacks-more a kind of "High Tech" solution! Have I forgotten something?
