You were certainly fast on that one Anton!
It's a Fritz Zimmermann. This is believed to be an early type with thin date numerals and often found unmarked. The later EKs by this maker had slightly fatter dates and are more commonly found marked.
Very nice cross, I'm missing this type from the collection.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Haha, yeah. Love at first sight!
That's good news! Not a very common maker but not rare either! And for a pretty good price too!
Did i bought it right before you?
Wow Anton, that a lovely parade mounted cross
I wish I had seen it first

I agree, this bar is really nice ! a very good purchase
No secret, I'll post them when I get them.
They are two EK2s that we still haven't yet been able to establish a maker for.
One of them is thought in some places to be a C.F. Zimmermann but this is just a possible theory, the other is a complete mystery but both are very distinctive.......
