Any and all thoughts appreciated on this EK I am considering.
Hello Simon,
Both case and cross look good to me (if somewhat salty - just how I like them!).
BTW, the cross is a Klein and Quenzer.
Regards - Danny
Thanks Danny, glad you responded, no one else had an opinion. Could you tell me how you id'd it as a Klein & Quenzer?
Thanks!
I would guess by the beading in the center, the hardware, the pin shape, the date and the swastika would be some of the ways.
Nice salty cross!

Ok Ralph, I admit my ignorance due to being new to the hobby, but how does the swastika differ from any other EKI? I have nothing to compare it to, unless there is a thread here I missed that
shows various makers side by side?
Hi Simon, the pin set up and the date esp the number '3' are the best ways to identify a K&Q.
Do a search and compare with other K&Q's its the best way to learn.
Here is a recently posted minty example to compare:

Very nice K&Q cross. My K&Q for comparison purposes. Looks like a good match. Great find.
A good match and a lovely set

Simon, from what I understand, K&Q EK's swastika stand a little more "proud" than most EK's.
Here is my example, unmarked like yours.
