March 22, 20233 yr #1 Hi guys, Some time in the hobby but there is one important piece missing.. an EK1. I came accros this one. What do you guys think? Legit? Any ideas on what it would be worth in todays market (europe)?
March 22, 20233 yr #2 I think the "20" mark is Zimmerman. He usually marked his pieces on the inside of the pin rather than the outside. Dave
May 1, 20233 yr #3 This is indeed the maker C.F. Zimmermann of Pforzheim. The firm also used "L/52". The EK1 below sold for $440 alone. Another reputable dealer sold a cased one for $495.
