    Just for the record, Klein & Quenzer used about fifteen different variations in their cores and the '1939' date.

    Its an original, but the inner-core seems to be re-painted to me. I wish people didn't do that, although some EK's do tend to loose the black paint.
    But for 50 euros it's a steal. I would clean up the new paint if it was mine, see if it comes off easy, if not leave it, but thats just my thoughts.

    Imo i would not suggest cleaning it because you could ruin it if you make one mistake and this means its history lost forever.

    I would agree with Daniel. It seems to have been touched up where the core has had some rust or flaking paint. To remove it might do more damage and it won't look right no matter what. Best to leave it as is. The price you paid wasn't high so enjoy it for what it is.

    i just told my opinion why reacting like this? And why you don't explain how you came up with the conclusion that its not fake so "younger" members can learn from you... i just logged in this forum to share my items and also see other collections... And why judge my posts? I am just asking for opinions and i just tell mine... since when saying your opinion is bad? And if you say it was a guess you are wrong i was just suspicious about the 1939 that's all...And also we learn from our mistakes...
