Hi Ger, sorry but I think this is a fake. Keller didnt make EK's

i think this might be a l59 maybe miss stamped?
imo this is a l59 early cross with the bump on the first nine and rounded inner corners but the pin on the back and possibly the catch are replaced?
thats just going from the useful links section
Hi Nick,
look at this one,
http://wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/s....php?p=4902045
they dont agree with you, that EK2 is also stamped 59
i posted this one before a week ago,:
post was:
EK1 for review:
your reply was:
Its an Alois Rettenmaier....

Cheers Ger
Not liking this one either. The swas looks very thin and the paintjob doesn't look right if you look at the edges imo.
Regards
I'm struggling to find a match for this one. The inner corner beading is not like anything I've seen before, the very shallow swastika is also a cause for concern as is the reverse hardware. The pin and hinge is very unusual so I'm thinking it's a fake.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
although im not happy with the outcome i would like to thank you all for the input
for some reason im not lucky with buying genuine EK1-1939, hahahaha, better stick to my daggers
Will see what the seller says of it......
Thks agian!
