This EK II 1870 is on ebay. Is it real or a copy? What's your opinion. Runs more than 4 days.

It´s a bad one. The core is made from CD 800 (Carl Dillenius, Pforzheim) type that was used during ww1 and frame is a known fake too.
1870 cores were (mostly) sandcast, blackened and they had very plastic relief of crown and letters. This core is painted, stamped from iron sheet with flat relief - which are features typical for late EK2 1914.
