    Hi all,

    Just picked this up, I've had it packed away for ~22 years back home. Does anyone have any idea what this makers mark is? I am having a hard time finding actual pics of the different marks online. Happy Sunday all!

    Can you post a better close up shot of the front and back of the cross.
    The mark is incomplete so to determine a maker, someone will need to compare core details
    and frame beading against known examples.

    My best guess is that the cross is marked for "Wilm"
    I did a comparison of a fully marked Wilm cross to yours.

    Here are some clear photos of one of my Wilm EKs to compare. You can compare the beading on the inner corners as well.

    Here is a photo of the maker's mark on another of my Wilm EKs to show the difference in how they were stamped.
