shaneos3 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I have always had doubts about this EK1 but does anyone know for sure?The cross and catch are magnetic but I have not seen this type of Shinkel before.Regards, Shaneos3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim R Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 The whole setup on the back is wrong. There are no known maker marked schinkels. I don't have access to my photos to post a picture of one (I just returned to the States and computer is in transit) but hopefully someone else will chime in. I would not buy this one.

joe campbell Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 i agree with jim.this "version" has the remnant slagin each of the corners on the insideof the frame, and the frame itselfhas nothing of the delicate appearancethat makes the schinkels so beautiful.joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
