This one is even better than those made by Zimmermann. Excellent cased iron cross from one of the overall best makers of these pieces. Wonderful set and another great purchase Kirk, congratulations.

Best regards,

Congratulations Kirk!
When I received my father's K&Q EK II, I knew that these were one of my favorite makers and they really did quality work when they produced these crosses.
That was my first EK of any type and I knew there would be more.
Although I can't tell them apart, apparently there is 5 or so different cores used in these.
These EK I's can be found without a maker's mark as well.
You have chosen wisely.
Ralph.

My favourite EK maker. They really are nicely made and this is a great example. I love the age tone to it and the core. Another great addition to your collection.
