EK 1914 New "800" Vaulted EK1 Pinback

[Guest Darrell]

Picked this guy up the other day. I'm quite impressed with the (what I assume) hand vaulting on this example. If you turn it around and look at all angles, it appears to be quite symetrical and the beading is close to the core at the inside corners. I'm quite happy that this guy has found a friend in my "800" screwback

beautiful cross, darrell!!

i'm not certain you can assume it's

hand vaulted.

with its condition, time frame(imperial),

i would think it is a private purchase

and professionally vaulted. it sure

looks like it!

you did well.

Hi Joe ... thats what the guys at WAF are saying ... maybe you guys are right

[joe campbell]

i don't claim to be an expert,

but i've seen more TR

pieces which have been hand vaulted

than imperial pieces.

i'll take a look at the other thread.

[joe campbell]

yup.

i think most are on the same page.

it would seem you have a nice,

professionally vaulted EK 1.
