Opinions Needed on my EK. Unknown maker.

[dramos]

Hello all!

I just finished my last final for this semester this morning so now I have much more free time to devote to learning more about this great hobby! I am hoping to get some opinions on this EK I have. I bought it last summer when I was home from a fellow who was helping sell it for a friend who's grandfather had given it to him (long story I know haha). Anyways, I got a mutterkreuz from his as well and I believe that one is authentic so I am feeling good about the EK but I am not sure. It has the magnetic middle and shows wear that would be expected, but I know age can be artificially added. If the pictures are not good enough I can take some more. Any opinions or thoughts on maker would be great. .

Hi Doug,

It's a nice original cross alright.
It reminds me of a '122' J.J. Stahl, but I cannot be certain until I can consult my files.

Thanks Danny! That is a relief because for so long I have been unsure of its authenticity. Really appreciate the confirmation

Thanks for the opinions gents! I feel much better having it displayed knowing it is authentic. What are the qualities of a Stahl EK?
