So I picked this little beauty up from a buddy who's dad served in WW2 and brought it back. He personally hates everything related to the nazi's so he sold it extremely cheap. I'm very familiar with most makers and I have only seen 1 other Clamshell of a WW1 EK1. It is unmarked and in excellent condition with a magnetic core and 3 piece construction. I've been told it's either a Junker maker or Dreumer. Curious as to what these specific variants sell for now a days and what you all think of it. P.S sorry for the poor pics.
Unfortunately it is neither a Juncker or a Deumer but a Floch fake and it was definitely not brought back from the war.
These are extremely well known and the bane of the EK collector's life. Try a search on the forum and you will find many references to Floch and the fakes he produces. Compare yours to others and note the distinctive date, particularly the number '3' as well as the beading pattern.

Now Nick has posted his Deumer, compare the number '3' in the date. The Floch style is immediately recognisable and no wartime producer of EKs made a date with this style.
There are many differences between the Floch cross and the Deumer just as there is compared to a Juncker. No wartime manufacturer had the same beading pattern as Floch either.
