Motorhead Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hmmm-I hate to be the bringer of bad news-this one is never a 107 Carl Wild! It looks like the common fake with the varios maker marks!Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darrell Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) I agree with Micha ... just saw this thread. Those rounded corners give this one away ... Edited April 25, 2006 by Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekhunter Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I agree with Micha ... just saw this thread. Those rounded corners give this one away ...I'm new here, but I can gaurantee you that this is not a 107 "made" cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, please don't believe that "some" well known dealers won't stake their good name for a few Euro's. I know, because I myself got burned by a Floch several years ago by a well known dealer. It happens! I only said that because the pin, catch, and the "rounder" edges don't match any known example of a 107 marked cross. Tonight I will try to post a picture of a Carl Wild 1st class pinback that is generally accepted by 99.999 of collector's and dealers as the "real" deal. Good luck in your endeavors, and once again, I did not mean to offend. Edited April 28, 2006 by ekhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Perhaps it needs moved to the discussion area to give buyers a warm and fuzzy.Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I agree this needs to be thrashed out in the EK Section. So I have moved it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I agree with the others I'm afraid,the cross is not looking good at all ...have a look at this link for some original examples of a 107 EK1 http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7719Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekhunter Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 This is a Carl Wild 107 pinback. This is a "text book" example for comparison purposes.[attachmentid=36883][attachmentid=36882][attachmentid=36881] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Arne S Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hi !I also agree with the others here !The first showed EK 1 mm "107" in this thread is a well known fake , and can be found with a lot of different markers marks . Jan Arne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Robertson Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 HI all Dave B posted the link that says it all,great photos of good 107 made EKI's .

DavidM Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 HelloThe cross in question, as has already been pointed out, is a fake. What I'd be interested to know is who the dealer is that is peddling this rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
