EK 1914 Strange clamshell.....

[Motorhead]

Gentlemen and friends of the imperial iron-this one dropped in today.as you can see the cross is not what you would expect from a clamshell EKI.And-the clamshell itself is also far away from being the "standart" type.Well,as I have also the '39 variation of this clamshell I had to add this one to my collection!

And the last one-I have to apologize for the bad pics...If I would read the manual of my new Canon I could make much better ones...

very unusual hardware!

a "30's variation?

I think so-the '39 Cross with the same kind of clamshell could be a nearly one so yes-I would put it into the 30ies.

I have the same hardware on an Imperial Black WB that I am not overly fond of (I put it in my suspect category). I believe the screwdisk and badge belong together though. As such, Micha, I think the black painted screwdsik does not belong on this cross.
