Dear Members,

Was wandering if I could have your views on whether the attached EK2 is legit or not.

1. The core is magnetic
2. The seam is not easily discernible but using a thin sheet of paper I notice that same goes under the bead. As such I assume it is 3 piece construction.
3. The frame is strangely shiny (I am used to see more patina and less shiny color)
4. I cannot make out any makers mark in the ribbon ring although there is something that I cannot discern whether it is a flaw or an actual mark.

Please let me know what your thoughts are about the cross and ribbon.

Many thanks.
