It has been bought to my attention that this EK for sale in the classifieds is a fake. Can it be discussed? I am not a awards collector just buckles.

Hi Ben. Looks like a once piece cross. I'll let Nick or Adrian say for sure but probably not one I would buy.
I think you may be right Todd , these are not my thing but I cannot see a join/gap between the core and the frame. Also the back looks like it has had a touch over by some wire wool.Could the seller post us a nice close up of the side of the frame? It would be interesting to see if there is a joint! Leon.
It is indeed a fake, and appears to be one-piece...51 (Eduard Goeriach u. Soehne, Gablonz) did not produce EKIs...
cheers, Glenn
Not nearly as good as Greg (Chopperman), or Nick (Woolgar)!
cheers, Glenn
Fake EK1 , one of the most easiest too tell with the pin set up & typical '51' makers mark
A well known fake indeed! There are a number of threads on this forum about the spurious 51 !
Good eye Ben !
ek1- 51 mark original.??
EK1 - good or bad?
