Very nice pick up Stefan, congrats ! I love this maker. Here is my example to compare, I like the unique number '3' on the reverse

Nice spotless chrome frame but looks like it's being badly repainted or is that just the pics?

Nick, before posting that particular example, please post a warning notice for all forum members. "ACHTUNG!!! SUNGLASSES REQUIRED! DO NOT LOOK AT THIS AWARD WITHOUT THEM!!!"
Cheers,
Carl
p.s. Nice examples gents, thank you for sharing.
Stefan, its just the factory paint. Maybe a Friday afternoon cross

Ah ha.
Someone correct me though, aren't the cores painted before being put in the frames?
I'm getting sunburnt LOL.
Blimey, just looked at mine, cores painted afterwards by the looks of them. Love this forum, learning every single time.
Makes the Friday afternoon one even more impressive.

Hi
Your EK2 looks fantastic and in good overall condition!
I love them with patina!
EK2 cores were usally painted before the EK2 was put together. But some EK2 were one pice construction so they had no choice but to paint it with the frame.
Thanks
Cameron
The cores were painted or prior to assembly but there is evidence to show some were also touched up after they were assembled.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Very nice crosses, Stefan and Nick!
Regards
