This one dropped in last week-Compare it with the "Heyde C6",they could be twins. The ribbon is not original,it looks like a 1914 replacement.So what do you think?

:love:

it certainly is a very close match. thank you for sharing this!

on a side note: i've always found it ironic how these older examples can be dated so precisely, whereas certain younger cousins are sometimes more difficult to pinpoint vis a vis construction date/era. ;)

Not considering you only had a very few makers/variations versus the industrial production that was to come.

on the other hand, later on more people were involved in making them, selling them, and wearing them, which theoretically should mean that there would be more documentation. but unfortunately this is not always the case. henceforth the irony, imo.

cheers!

Please could you give us weight and size ?

A very nice example of a slightly later produced 1813 EK2 Mika. I think you have the date about right.

Congratulations..
