Schinkel EK2 question

**LondonJay** · 12-20-2011, 08:17 PM

Hi Gentlemen,
What do you think of this EK2?
I believe it is an original 'Schinkel'.
I know 'normal' EK2's sell for around £80-90 but how much more on top do these variations normally sell for please?
I don't own it and have seen this one for sale for £175 so am unsure if thats a good deal or not please?
Thank you for taking the time to look.
Jay

Not sure on this one Jay, the date appears a little different to other original pieces that I have been looking at. The prices are generally higher for Schinkel crosses, and the amount quoted would be fair if it is an original. Hopefully Adrian or Nick will give it the once over soon anyway, as they're the ones with more expertise in this area.

Cheers,

Carl

Hi Jay my friend!

I am not too happy with this as a Schinkel, the arms seem to be flary an too pointed IMO.

Definately not a Deumer date, more towards a Meybauer but the date on the obverse I just dont recognise

I know there are many intermixed variants but I just cant match this one.

Maybe someone more in the know will respond

Jay, that one is a fake. Those sharp corners require a licence to own it!!

Thanks for the replies!

License to own it, love it Adrian!

I don't collect these as you know but thought it seemed cheap if it was the real deal!

Thanks again!

Jay
