Looks good Nick, all the features you would want to see are there and there is some nice patina.

Looks similar to my post war souval that has been discussed here in this thread....

Sorry if I´m wrong but I can´t find that pin set up on WAF´s register over original souval´s either.. Sorry if I´m wrong still learning you know

The link to Souvals different pinbacks -> Iron Cross

There are many more type of pin that can be found on Souval crosses than the three in the link above. Fabri is good on EK1s, maybe he will offer his opinion.

No need to apologize! Off the top of my head I think there are about six or seven possible pin/hinge/catch combinations for Souval EK1s.

That patina is so dark it's threatening!

Thank you Adrian. Oh so they used so many different pin set ups...Is it the same for all other makers also,that they also used so many different pin set ups?

And by the way, really nice cross nick

I'm not really the one to ask about the finer details of EK1s as I don't collect them, I only have a couple but as far as I know several manufacturers EK1s can be found with various hinge/pin/catch combinations. I hope one of the other members can elaborate further on this for us.

Thank you very much for your answer Adrian. One thins is really fun with TR collecting, the more you learn about it the more you realize how little you know and how much more their is to learn
