to late to worry now nick.
If you're talking about the one below Terry, it's not even a Wachtler & Lange piece and I'm not even sure it it's good. Either way a seller selling an EK which is marked incorrectly and is very obviously wrong as W&L EKs are among the easiest to identify and also the most common, despite the fact the seller has marked it as a 'scarce maker' shows he ain't done his homework...........
It's a nice set but have to admit being curious about the marking when I saw it on the update. Do you have an L/55 marked EK2 Nick?
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Hi Nick,
I've seen a double stamped W&L EK1 where the PKZ 100 mark has been overstamped with the LDO L/55 MM, but on the inside of the pin. Having said that, the shape of the two '5's were almost identical to the ones your cross shows, with subtle differences to them both.Also the lines above and below the numbers appear the same, rather than them being in a 'box' so to speak.
I have also noted a W&L EK1 with the LDO number missing the '/' between the 'L' and '55', there by being 'L55'.
I'm not really up on EK's, but I think on balance from what i've seen this may just be an unusual anomaly, and the cross is o.k.
Regards, Ned.

Got home , looked in the B&D book and there is a fine example of the stamp on the outer pin
