Motorhead Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) This one dropped in today...Another variation of my favourite maker! Again,blued core and the stamping "SILBER" at the pin-these is the 2nd pin variation of this model.Now I would like to know if there's one of these(with the same pin) with the stamping at the back plate......Micha++The condition is not half as bad as it looks at this picture!!++ Edited January 3, 2009 by Motorhead
joe campbell Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 nice acquisition!i wonder if you could post a "side by side"of a high quality blued example vs a painted example?were the painted ones sprayed/dipped?what does "bluing" involve? same as gunmetal?many thanks!joe
Motorhead Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 I will look what I can do for you,Joe.But to show the difference at a picture is not easy. But you are right-gun-metall is the right description.Micha
Motorhead Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 Now I have realised how bad my pictures really are..... left side close to perfect "CD 800",right side close to perfect "SILBER" (stamped at the back plate)-for you,Joe!Micha
joe campbell Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 magnificent shots, and magnificent examples, micha!i am much obliged.the blued example appears to have more of a flat, matte finish,while the painted version is shinier/glossier.(the advantage of having what appear to be mint, unissuedexamples to compare!)perhaps there is come technical person who could explainwhat the bluing process is ???thank you micha.joe
Motorhead Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) No problem...... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluing_(steel)MichaThe color of the blued EKs is like a silk-mat anthracite Edited January 3, 2009 by Motorhead
