this ek1 appears to be made of silvered brass
i can see a soldered joint so i assume its 3 piece construction but is it genuine?

i like it,,looks like a good one to me,thumbs up

is it common to see them made of silvered brass?

not common but one runs across them ocassionaly,,,i heard many years ago,that supposedly the brass based material ones were for the Reichmarine/Kriegsmarine as they wouldn't rust from the salt water/air,...don't know if that is true or not,,never the less,they should have scarce status

thanks
brass/salt water makes sense
