Re: Help with my EK

[Gwar]

Unfortunately I usually tend not to profit...But help others that collect..
I also do not like dealers that churn out "Profit" Based collecting.. I collect
and pass on the items to fellow collectors...I recently sold a Ground Combat (Luftwaffe)
badge to a fellow who was a collector...To insure this hobby stays healthy..
When I first started collecting...Prices were moderate...Now it is the profit mongers that keep us hostage as collectors and history buffs alike...Maybe I'm old fashioned...Who cares....I do.......

Regarding the 'Ubergross', does anyone else see that the 3 o'clock arm frame seems wider than the 9 o'clock arm frame?

Yes, that whole right hand side of the cross frame looks wider Glenn.

And there endeth my contribution to this thread...hopefully one of our EK experts can take things from here and identify this anomaly.

Good observation Glenn Danny's cross has the same feature though so i guess that's how it should be?
I have never noticed this characteristic before.

Many crosses can be found with different width frame edges. It's not an unusual occurrence.

Here's a '125' from my collection where the left hand frame edge is wider than the right:



And a Meybauer Schinkel where the top edges of the arms and top edge of the frame are all thinner than their opposites:



And even on a wide frame '24' where the bottom edge of the frame on the left hand arm is narrower than the right:
