EK1

Gents,

This EK1 OK? The cross is magnetic and slightly vaulted.

It is the reverse that puzzles me. I have never seen one like it. Is this an acceptable example?

My thanks

And the reverse. Is the screw fastener missing?

Hi Matt,

The cross appears genuine but the screwnut may be a replacement and it is missing a large diameter disc, as evidenced by the circular marks on the outer arms.

I am guessing there should be 1)Cross 2)backplate 3)Screw with 2) now missing.

Not unusual at all to find a nice, worn EK1 missing the attachment(s). I agree the cross looks legit and someone has substituted the screw-nut... if it even actually turns down! Personally, for all the mint-boxed pieces I have had over the years it's the ones that look like this that really "speak".
