Tony Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Hello,I have a KO marked EKI here with a strangely pitted iron core. Does anyone have an idea why it looks like that? It doesn?t appear to be the standard KO core either and the pin is slightly longer than my other KOs.I?ve always thought it may have been badly rusted, cleaned and then repainted but the W, crown and 1914 don?t show any signs of oxidisation/pitting at all.Any opinions?Tony
joe campbell Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 yes...rusted, cleaned, repainted....i think the pitting on the low surfacesrelates possibly to the relative thicknessbelow each of the above surfaces. JMHO.joeps - i LIKE the cross!
Tony Posted March 12, 2006 Author Posted March 12, 2006 Joe,I was hoping you'd say it's a rare art deco variant designed by a famous German artist. Whoever did the paint job was very good.Tony
joe campbell Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 yeah...that's the ticket...bruno picasso....yeah....
