EK 1870 help needed

[sdainius]

Dear members, what is your opinion about this EK1 1870? Is it original or a beautiful fake? Thank you for your help.

An original Godet EKI 1870 'Schinkel' and with the extremely rare additional hooks!? Nobody can pay! Don't think the piece is authentic, a later manufacture at best, well after 1870/71, the iron core looks almost brand new.

Sorry but it's a modern fake. It's a well done fake but when you compare it side
by side with an authentic Godet, they are not even close. The design of
the crown is wrong as is the font used in the "1870" date and the "Godet"
maker's mark is way to sloppy.

If you were to buy a Godet 1870 Ek1 with fangs, you would expect to
pay somewhere well north of $4K USD.

Here is a shot of my 1870 Godet. You can see the differences in the core details.

Agreed, a common fake.

Thank you ALL. Yes I agree, it is fake. It is "too new looking/cheep/beautifull" to be true Thank you Chopperman, your opinion is always with examples/explanations.
