EK 1914 1914 "935" with blued sheetmetal core

[Motorhead]

First I have to say I dont own this EK! I'm posting this pics with the permission of the owner.Who has got one of these in his collection? It doesn't look very spectacular,but belive me-these EKs are really hard to find(I've seen more KMST pinbacks the last few years).The core is different to the "SILBER" stamped pieces-the pics are not good enough to compare the frame,but I haven't got others.For a specialised EK collector these one would be a real highlight in the collection! Hope you like it as much as I do...

Great cross !!

I have a blued core EK2, unmarked.

The blued steel cored EKs are quite special. The bluing is similar to the finish used on Luger pistols from that era. The core finish simmers in the true light of the sun.

I have a few different examples in my collection. Two EKIs, one PB and one SB and two EKIIs, one of which is a prinzen with an Austrian fold to the ribbon.

Maybe Glenn or Greg will post a pic for me at their convienience as I'm still a bit techno illiterate at this point. No digital camera, yet.....Just too many EKs yet to buy.

This is my blued EK2. Not in the best condition. It has some rust forming on the blued core. If anyone

has a suggestion on cleaning up the rust please let me know. Would a light coat of wd40 hurt the blueing?
