Is this EK2 Hammer & Sohne real or fake?

**Angatta** · 01-18-2014, 01:22 PM

Hey there guys,
I have bought this '55' marked Hammer & Sohne EK2 a few months ago. But for some reason it feels wrong to me. It looks like a Hammer & Sohne but on some places where the 2 frames meet it does not look neatly done. I added pictures of what I mean. Could you guys help me out?

Here are the pictures:

Looks good to me too, correct core and frame. It seems they didn't spent much time on filing down the inner brims on this one...

J.E. Hammer & Sohne arguably made the worst quality crosses of any maker. I don't think they are near the top of any collector's 'favourite maker' list.
