Yes, it's a period conversion...I can see that in the hardware and workmanship, It's actually a very sturdy set-up, not as flimsy at it looks, lol...
cheers and continued good luck,
Glenn
The new book "the iron cross 1813-1870-1914" suggests the mmK could be W. Kluge & Co. !

This is also the first "K" marked Ek1 that I have ever seen or heard about.
I do like the look of this cross. The paint loss and the patina make it very
believeable to me. I am just a bit unsure about the makers mark.
If you don't mind, I would like to post some pictures on another forum to
see what the opinion is.
To be quite honest , I have never been a fan of the this style cross.
( Large crown, closed "4" ) There are plenty of good ones but also
a few fakes with this style core turn up every now and again.
I have a h3ll of a time telling them apart. I do know that "Deumer"
made a lot of crosses with this style core.

I was addicted to the "Hokey-Pokey" but I've turned
myself around.
Is it magnetic?

Glenn,
I like that Ek2 -Ek1 conversion. Some collectors are not
to crazy about them because it's hard to prove just when
the work was done, But I like them. They most definately
so some character.

Thanks, Greg...It's a Screwback EKI converted to Pinback...I've always felt very confident of the hardware, pin-plate, C-Catch and workmanship being period to early 1920s, having seen similar quality work in the past...
cheers, Glenn
