The other day I posted an EKII that was stamped on the Cross Ring with the letter U which could possibly be an inspection mark. This prompted me, as the weather was so bad today, to look through my collection of Imperial EKs in a hope of finding more of these marks.
It took a bit of time but was extremely rewarding. I can't remember when I last looked at every single one of them so closely, it really was great.
Anyway after looking very closely I found a few more of my EKs with what I can only assume are once again inspection marks on the Cross Ring. I really don't know how I missed them when I first purchased them, maybe I just concentrated on the cores and ring marks.
So here they are. I will show the makers Ring Stamp and the Cross Ring stamp.
I find these marks add to the mystery of these crosses and make them a little more special.
I would love to see more of these marks from your Imperial EK collections as they seem to be fairly varied.
Thanks for taking the time to look at these and hope to see more.
