repaired/bent but pristine w&l ek1

[rory]

this is definatley the best condition ek1 in my collection even if the 3 o'clock arm is a bit bent, pin is bent and catch is repaired. The pics dont do it justice without daylight

Nothing wrong with this one Rory, the damage doesn't detract from the look of the cross. Note the makers mark is slightly curved, this shows that Wachtler & Lange used the same stamp for their EK1s and EK2s. The curved stamp matches the curve of a ribbon ring.

cheers Adrian, i noticed the numbers are very faint that may explain why, as if it were the ek2 stamp it wouldnt be for a piece of flat metal but the ring where the numbers on the stamp would have made a better connection. Ill take another pic in daylight as the condition is extraordinary. I'd love to know where it has been with its condition and who tried to butcher such a nice looking thing?

Wachtler & Lange markings are generally faint, even on the EK2s.
