Just added this lovely mysterious cross.
A few collectors think it is a Ferdinand Hoffstaetter as one or two marked 8's have cropped up with the same detail and characteristics but the jury is out !
A quality EK2 imo
Opinions welcome

Don't have a clue about the maker, but it sure is one fine looking cross!
Thanks Roger ! It sure is

Ahhh.... that brings back memories!
Not the exact same cross, but my first ever TR EK2 was one of these!!
I sold it at one stage and ended up spending a lot more to replace it.
They are a great looking cross, but they must be more plentiful than thought
because the beading on one I originally had was shot to hell.
Almost as if the die was completely worn out.
It's funny though, I had that one for years and never saw another (and not for want of searching), but lately (the past 2 years or so), they have been appearing more often.
Strange how certain EK's appear in cycles - I remember when a marked '21' EK2 didn't seem all that unusual.... been looking for one recently?
Anyway, another great cross in your collection Nick,
See.. you tried to get away, but there is NO escape.......
YOU ARE ONE OF US NOW.....

It's a beauty, for sure! Like Roger, can't help with the maker. I really enjoy some mystery too, Nick

In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig. CE
Thanks guys!
@Danny, there were two for sale on WAF this week. This one is from Michal (Plaut) and Trevor had one for sale too!
Nice example you have

Beautiful cross, Nick!

cool!!!
Nick,
That cross I posted was the one I sold ages ago. I posted it so that you could see the extensive die wear on the beading.
It's replacement (with no wear) is still safely in my collection.
Regards - Danny
Nice one Nick
