Hello Gents,
Picked this up. I am no expert in them and I have few questions.
My first question is who is the maker

#2 the swastika on the obverse seems to have paint removed. It does not look this is recent but since it is below the surrounding parts of the badge this probably would not result from wear. It really makes it stand out but From limited experience I have never seen an EK1 with the swaz paint missing,
I am thinking post war or done or owner did third during the war.

#3The hardware on the reverse. appears the hinge was incorrectly applied or was repaired or done post war.

I thank you in advance,
General Putnam
