Hi Nick,
A good tip thanks. I alway figured W&L's to be the easiest to spot due to the 'scrunched' ribs on the inner top right hand side of the frame. So now i know 2 easy spotters
Is the 'birds foot' perculiar to the Souval only? I see a reasonable number of EK's with this feature so in future i'll take note if they are marked 98 or not.
Also the rounded inner beading always makes me suspicious of a Floch but I don't think Floch's have the 'feet'.
Is there anything to look for to distinguish between post-war Souvals and TR era?
Thanks
Glenn
Hi Ghibli, nice looking cross and in great condition! From what I can see in the photos the case is in exceptional condition as well. I have a couple cased EKIs, but I think you have me beat on overall condition with this one
Hey Dzyner, thanks for your message! I'd been lucky finding this cased one.
What about yours ? Would be great to see them, did you post some pictures on the forum already? - sorry I'm new to this thread - but I find it is excellent!!
Very nice cased EKIs from your collection!! Thanks for sharing, that's awesome.
Addicted ? Oh yes, I'm afraid this is tool late for me since got my EKI very recently and since I discovered your forum...
I got a EK's just like dzyner's too, with L/11 stamped on the back.
But - what does that mean? Wartime or post war fake? I'm completely lost here.
Hi Swiss, Have a read of this thread and do some research on EKs there is plenty of information about. Can you post a pic of your cross please?
Cheers

Hi Nick, isnt it the flaw on the beading, on the 12 o clock arm second rib to third rib, that differenciates between war time and postwar crosses by Souval?
I thought crosses with this were wartime. Glenn66s cross has this flaw, so it looks like a good wartime cross.
regards John
