Hello, i am new here and i would like to ask information on an EK2 i purchased. See photo's
The EK 2 is a three piece brass version. You can still see some of the silver on it. I bought it via a friend.
Unfortunutly it did had some damage to it. The chain was on it when i bought it and is non magnetic.
I have shown it to people on the internet and the thaughts on it differ.
Hope you can help me out.
Greetings Benjamin

I don't like that cross at all...the rounded inner-corners of the frame are an immediate red flag...The Swastika is off-center and too thin...Compare
the details with my original example here...Go get your money back, Friend...that's my best advice...

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Unfortunately, I agree with Glenn, I suggest you return it and get your money back.

The swastika is off center because it has shifted. Someone told that these crosses where used in the kriegsmarine. I have heard they found one on U 534. Greetings

There were indeed Brass Core Crosses produced, but the dimensions were the same as the regular Iron Cored Crosses (such as my example)...but the one you've posted isn't one of them, friend...It is a fake EKII...
cheers, Glenn
