Eisernes Kreuz 2 Klasse Klein und Quenzer. Help needed.

[shejken]

Hello guys.

Could someone please help me with this EK 2. Klein und Quenzer.
Its up for sale on a german site, thats why the swastika is all blurred.
It looks good to me, but when i compare it with other known originals i cant help noticing that
the numbers 1939 is just a little bit thicker and not so crisp as I should want it to be.
Perhaps you guys have better eyes than me. What do you think ?
Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

Tommy.

It looks okay to me.
Here is an unmarked K&Q to compare.
EK2, Maker 65, Klein & Quenzer, unmarked.
And another.
Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse, Unmarked K&Q
Here is a marked one to compare.
Eisernes Kreuz 2nd Klasse, Marked "65" K&Q
My understanding is that there are 4 different cores for the K&Q EK IIs.

Tanks a lot Ralph.

Comparing it to your pictures I think its a genuine K&Q EK 2, but input from others are welcome.

Best regards.

Thanks to all for your input.

I will go for it.
Its an auction, so I dont think it will be cheap.
But I will do my best.

Best regards.
