greg.hays Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 The IAB is original and in the past has been attributed to Wernstein but this is likely not the case. It is a topic of alot of discussion as it has a twin in the L/51 marked IAB which is made by Weidman so that is one possibility. Another theory is that the "UU" marking may be representitive of a "Wein" conglomorate of makers. But both are just theories right now lacking any definitive evidence. As to the EK I have no idea, not a cross collecter. Hope that helps some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike75 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I think the maker of the cross is Rudolf Souval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
