Also, please share your wisdom.
What does this look like to you all?
Some of the engraving is sharpened and hard to see, and some are comparing it to a fake in the process, but please ignore this.
Best regards.

As far as I know, there are no original EK I's marked 35, or 135.

Searching for anything relating to, Anton Boos, 934 Stamm. Kp. Pz. Erz. Abt. 7, 3 Kompanie, Panzer-Regiment 2, 16th Panzer-Division (My father)
I can't see the obverse clearly enough. There's something wrong with this cross. Isn't this a Floch fake marked L15?

Additional information. The imprint was "L/5"!
This is also not the correct designation of any known manufacturer. L/5 ???? This is what the marking on the fake Floch L15 looks like. Maybe a little unclear, but you can see the similarity.

Excellent.
Thanks for your valuable input.
I too was having trouble with a manufacturer I had never seen before. I was also having trouble with an even clearer picture, again with a manufacturer I had never seen before.
Haha!
In my shallow knowledge, I am aware that EK1 is only made by the manufacturer below.
1 & L/10 Deschler & Sohn
L/12 C.E. Junker
3 & L/11 Wilhelm Deumer
4 & L/16 Steinhauer & Luck
E Ferd Wiedmann
6 Fritz Zimmermann
7 & L/13 Paul Meyhauer
L/19 Ferdinand Hoffstadter
11 Grossmann & Co. (Questionable)
15 Friedrich Orth
16 & L/59 Alois Rettenmaier
20 & L/52 C.F. Zimmermann
26 & L/18 B. H. Mayer
65 Klein & Quenzer A.G.
Rudolf Souval
100 & L/55 Rudolf Wachtler & Lange
107 Carl Wild
L/15 Otto Schickle
L/50 Godet
L/53 Hymmen & Co.
L/54 Schauerte & H?hfeld
L/56 Funcke & Bruningshaus
L/57 Boerger & Co.
To supplement your knowledge, I suggest purchasing a book about "Eisernes Kreuz 1 Klasse" by Maerz/Stimson. This will probably help you understand the whole issue. But your own observations and analyzes would also be useful.
