Ek1 and ek1 screw back

[Tank Destroyer]

I'm posting my only 2 EK1's. one is a standard and the other is a screw back. I MAY have to part with one of the crosses. I've had both for 3 years and would like to know if both are originals or reproductions. IF I do have to sell I want to make sure their good. And which would you sell? And which would you keep?

Both are good, original EKs so no worries there.

A shame you have to sell one but the choice is yours. Keep the one YOU like the most!

I'd be keeping the screwback, it's a beauty!

I agree both are fine crosses !

Really good to know that both are originals. I really thought they would be due to the person I bought them from but you always need to check and double check. I hope I not not have to sell one of them. Adrian your right to the choice is mine it would be a hard decision. The screw back is unmarked. Any idea of the maker? Marty

I think a Wiedmann EK1, but I'm not sure. If Wiedmann, is this type of SB correct for this cross?

Nick is right
This is a Wiedmann SB cross,this cross rarer than the Mayer Cross
Ferdinand Wiedmann never marked the EK1 crosses
I certainly this a would consider
I would consider it a cross Wiedmann

That is why it pays to ask question here. Thank you, Marty
