Been looking at some second hand Korda Stows on FB.

Is there an easy way to tell the difference between the MK1 and MK2 from photo's?

Thanks

MK 2 has the wire moulded in the line clip.
MK 1 has no wire.
original versions [ pre Korda] had clip whipped on instead of injection moulded.

That's an easy way to tell them apart then, thanks. Got some MK2 now
