    Who's the maker of this lovely 57 EKI

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didnt S&L have exclusive rights to manufacture all the post war EKs?

    Hi Tony,

    I agree, looks like a good quality earlier example. I'm sure I've seen that type of catch before, but can't recall exactly where (possibly on a swatika'd repro of some sort, possibly another 57er type).

    I don't know who the maker is, but I think Deumer can be safely ruled out as the beading pattern appears different and the beading flaw is typically on the 9 o'clock arm on L/11 marked 57er EK1s. This example has a fairly strong beading flaw on the 12 o'clock arm, so examining later war examples from Third Reich manufacturers may actually uncover the real maker.

    Regards

    Cheers Mike,

    Unfortunately I don't have it now. I say unfortunately because since I sold it I've had stacks of people telling me what a quality piece it is.
