Hi guys,
Silence is gold ;-) but not too much of it !

I just want to show you this EK2 mm we .
Nothing out of the ordinary, but it has this all black patina to the frame :-)
It looks even better "live". Mm is at the small ring.
Another one to mark on the long list :-/

Nice as eyes!

[Chopperman]

That is a very nice cross, Marc.
I really like the contrast of the shinney beading
against the deep patina.

Nice cross, great patina!

Hi guys, Another EK2 pickup . The cross is very well made and in very good condition, with a long piece of ribbon . Core is casted. BUT, I cannot make out the mm :-/ It is 3caracters, ending with a H. , first could be A,K,R .....????? Anyone taking a wild guess ;-) ? Mfg Marc Ps by the way, any of you guys ever tried to take a picture with your mobile TROUGH a magnifying glass ??!! I just did ;-))

[Chopperman]

Another nice one
It's a poorly marked KAG.

[unimarc]

It could be ! I know these companies must have had several stamping tools , therefor it could be right. That said, it is very different from the other K.A.G. Marks I've seen ! Below is an example from another K.A.G. That I have for compare. On this later one, there is only a point after the "G", which in my opinion looks more like a H. This punch tool must be very worn, being this bad :-) Thanks for your interest . Mfg Marc

My latest EK II an Imperial replacement from St u L, three piece construction, magnetic core, 44mm x 44mm, using the frames from their 57er range TR version, this example was made around 1960, it has a great core detail, with plated frames.
These Imperial EK's were made from the early 1950's to the early 1970's, as veterans replacement awards, they (St u L) had a range of Imperial awards during this time.
They and Deumer made a smaller version at 42mm x 42mm, but not a schinkle version.
Prost ! Steve.
