EK1 authentic?

[Octava]

Hi Club, Im new to this site and new to collecting. I would appreciate anyones opinion on the following EK1 as to whether they think it might be authentic or reproduction.

It is marked on the back with .800 as well as marker down the bottom KO - I am more than happy to email pictures to any member who can assist.

Thanks!

Nope. A recent fake.

Well known fake. Crown is wrong, hardware is wrong, paintjob is horrible. I observed similar piece in hands when I was at fleamarket one week ago. There was even the SS marking on the "schraube" and it was one piece construction.
