Early Deschler EKI screwback

Hello,

Tonight I stumble over this Deschler EKI screwback. The seller told me this is one of the earliest EKI screw back version, to be found.

One-piece construction, only found on the really early types!

What is your opinion on this subject?

Thanks in advance.

Gr,

Jerome

Another nice find Jerome. An early Deschler is probably the best description for it, I'm not sure if these have definitely been pinned to this maker but it is thought to be the most likely. The screw disk looks like it's had some modification or repair so take that into account when considering the price.
Hopefully Fabri will be able to add more.

Its certainly early and yes the pin has been modified. A nice pick up though

Honestly I have nothing to add.
I have my doubts that this one comes from the Deschler factory. Yes date is similar with the well known Deschlers but all rest has nothing in common.
Frame beads, back set-up... nothing in common. Who knows.. bah..
