Hi

I'm no expert but in my opinion it looks like a floch fake.

I would wait for more opinions though.

Thanks

It looks like conversion was done very crudly.

Hi

Sorry it seems the EK2 is original then.

As I said I'm no expert!

The date looks Meybauer IMO, but not sure. Anyway I wouldn't spent my money on it. There are much better EKs out there.

The cross is original, as for the conversion - who knows? It looks crude enough to be a field modification but we will never find out. Unless the price is ridiculously cheap I would leave it and get a better example.
