Thomas L Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Hello Gentlemen,A collector colleague wanted to know if these two EK's in his collection are the real deal. EK's are not in my field of expertice, therefore I would kindly like to ask of your opinon on these two. To a novice (me) these look genuine enough, but I wouldn't bet my life on it./Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike K Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Hi Thomas,I think your friend can sleep easy, they both appear genuine to me and are imo probably of earlier (ie WW1 to 20s vintage). The example on the left has a fairly generic core used by quite a few manufacturers, including Godet. The example on the right for me remains an unknown maker. Don't lose those nuts - impossible to find them! This type somtimes comes with very large round backing plates (with variable numbers of holes, from 2 to many).

joe campbell Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 i would not be surprised if the one on the left is a TR production piece. its overall shape more closely mimicsthe '39 issue.i'd LOVE to know if the EK on the right ever had a plate...both are very nice!joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Both nice crosses. The left appears TR sized when compared to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas L Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 Thank you all for the good info and the thumbs up! Needless to say my colleague was very happy to hear that his crosses are of the good kind!Joe, most probably the cross on the right has at some point had a back-plate. According to my colleague the screws are quite long and a plate would fit nicely.Best regards/Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
