EK1 Original

[sweguy]

Hi, I have the opportunity to buy this EK1 and wonder what you think of it, it's unmarked. The seller says his father worked as a Swedish soldier on the railways guarding German POW soldiers from Norway, and got it as a thank from a soldier who thought he was threated well.

Would appreciate autencity

Hello,

It's a very nice original Klein & Quenzer cross.

Thanks nice to hear, what would you maximum pay for it?

I agree, that is an original EK1.

I agree with Danny, ask the seller if there is a mark on the top side of the pin too.

In terms of price, as a private sale between €150-€180 I believe would be acceptable. Most go for about €175 and upwards on dealer sites.

A good K&Q, the price is as Adrian states.

Still would be good to see better pics

Thanks for your help gents. Have asked for better pictures and if he sees any markings on the pin. I'm impressed, how do you see it's an Klein & Quenzer just by looking at it?

The date, especially the number '3' is very unique to K&Q EKs.

K&Q's are nice EK's. Here are two shots of the front of mine. You can see the detail of the "3" a little better.

A beautiful K&Q indeed, with the earlierst core type, one of my favourite!
