EK II mm 76 question

[bronkie]

Has anyone maybe a similar EK II ? especially the inner core I have questions about it looks repainted but and I don't see anything wrong, and with acetone no effect just a perfect email, someone has a different opinion?

Nothing wrong with this bronkie. An original cross in original condition. No repaint in my opinion.
The core has rusted under the paint giving the wavy texture to the surface.
Don't try and clean it because that paint will flake off easily and make sure you keep it in a stable environment to make sure it doesn't get worse.

Adrian is correct, the bubbles and veins created by the rust are attractive to EK collectors !

Thanks! especially now that I know that this is normal, it will store in a dry place and certainly not cleaning it
