An EKII with non-combatant ribbon. It is marked "J.W. (and some triangle mark after the letters) ", which is believed to stand for the maker Johan Wagner & Sohn, Berlin - if I'm not mistaken.
Hi Kenneth,
The correct mark for Johan Wagner and Sohn is-----JWS.
Here is the best image of the mark that I have on file. I do not yet
own a JWS myself.
Then I have no clue. The dealer made it out to be "JW", and I can only agree. It might not be Johan Wagner & Sohn, but I can't make it out to be anything else than "JW", alternatively "IW" (due to the fact that in Germany the letter "I" was often written as "J". The "J" on the ring is actually very clearly outlined.

I found a makers list showing "JW" to be J.H. Werner, Berlin. Any thoughts on that?
