Re: ek 2nd class unmarked!
Hi, general rule of thumb is if no markings its early war.
Your items look good ! The EK2 is a Souval

Re: ek 2nd class unmarked!
Different makers had certain details that are clear on their examples. Take a look at the various threads concerning EKs here on the forum, and you will soon learn how to spot a few of them. It takes a long time however, to be able to recognise most or all of them. Guys on here such as Adrian or Nick, who kindly replied above, are very good at recognising the different makers but that kind of knowledge isn't acquired overnight. Be patient, and use the forum.
Regards,
Carl
p.s. Nice EKII there!

Re: ek 2nd class unmarked!
The wound badge is a very worn, but original 'black grade' in tombac/brass.
Some collectors prefer them being 'salty'. I don't mind them looking
like this either.........!
