A couple of post war veterans replacement Imperial EK's have come my way, an EK I and II,both "salty" in similar condition/appearance to one another, and being from the same dealer, I suspect from the same veteran, a gut feeling as I have no name or other evidence !
Both appear to be well worn (or badly stored !)........the EK I has been hand vaulted, the EK II is the rarer smaller version at 42mm x 42mm as opposed to the larger version at 44mm x 44mm, there is a weight difference as well.... 16g/18g, both appear to be by St u L. Both are of three piece construction and have magnetic cores...........I have added to trifold ribbon for display purposes, a the EK II came w/o a ribbon..........
Prost ! Steve.
