Waechtler & Lange L55 brass core ?

[Sam Oht]

Hi all Hope someone can help tell whether this EK1 cross is genuine. It was purchased at a danish "arms fair " by a highly recognized and respected EK seller.
He told me its a rare Rudolf Waechtler & Lange L55 or maker no. 100 with brass core but without maker stamp. can all this be true or can someone confirm this?.
weight 21 g as it should
I am a little concerned about the "pin lock" does it look right ? and is it rare and why ? Hope someone can help .

By the way im in a few EK groups on facebook and they all claims it to be fake so before i put it the crash can i will will try the real experts in here .

thx in advance

A fine W&L with non magnetic brass core, with typical W&L pin and catch setup. imo
