    1914 EK1 screwback with oval washer


    Recommended Posts

    That is a very nice and hard to find screwback. To the best of my knowledge--Godet was the only maker of that style. I have only seen 2 others like it before. Tony J ( Tiger1) has a beautifull cased example.

    Congrats on a super cross.

    Very nice cross. See page 218 from The Iron Time.

    Is "The Iron Time" worth the money? I don't have a copy and haven't had a chance to view the book.

    BTW, super EK... how many do you have now? I saw your display in another thread and it looks as though you could use a few more. :rolleyes:

    I need to find a few more examples for my tunics... real, but simple pin back types. In over 20+ years of collecting I have never convinced myself to buy a screwback. I have no idea why as I love the EKI. I only have around 10 now for display and tunics. I sold many because I thought I had too many. What the H*** was I thinking! :speechless:

    This Cross was at Ebay a few days ago. I was the runner up, believe me, I was so upset. I am still upset but it is OK it went to you, I appreciate your knowledge on EK1s. I hope my turn is coming along

    I think it's the best book out there. Superb color photography.

    The first edition is slagged a bit because of a few fakes included as originals but I still give it (the 1st ed) 5 stars. 1st ed is now outta print but there's an updated, 2nd edition that I haven't seen. I'd imagine it's even better.

    Very nice Mike. :cheers:

    I was high bidder on that cross with 23 seconds left.

    I really thought I had it but Mike and Mario beat me. That's life. I'll get the next one.

    Thanks Eric. I'll try to pick one up.

    I've always wanted a screwback but have never felt comfortable enough to buy one. The book should help me research...
