EK2 (24) REAL or as fake as mother in laws smile......
hi everyone, im new to collecting EK2s and ive been reading your posts for quite a while and you obviously know your fakes from real. so can someone please I.D this for me and also explain the charicteristics (sorry if my spellings wrong) of a schinkel cross as thats what im looking for next, and also (sorry to be a pain) a rough price of how much i should prepare to part with for a nice example....btw my cross i got it for swapping a deact revolver as tbh i prefer the history behind medals. anyways thanks for your time and i look forward to hearing from you!

thank you very much for the reply Adrian, i cant any marks on the ring below but i wasnt sure about its authenticity even after seeing if it was magnetic. but now i feel alot better after someone with more knowledge has given it a thumbs up..... ahhh and now i see the differance....the schinkel is alot more delicate looking but tbh id never know one by sight, id have to compair it with mine. thank you very much for giving me peace of mind and teaching me the differance. take care.

I gave the Euro price as most of the main dealers closest to us are continental. They can be found cheaper and below €200 if you look around, the price I gave was the top end of what you should be looking to pay. If you find one, post it here for the guys to take a look at before you part with any hard earned cash.

I've never come across them before Dave but be aware there are many other sellers/sealers out there so spread your wings and shop around. You'll be surprised at how much stuff there is on the market.

It's a nice part of the country up in the North East. I visit Durham every couple of months, never been to Darlington though. I usually head up to Hadrian's Wall or the Kielder Forest but next week I'm going to take a look around Raby Castle.
