i can't seem to spark any intrest. hey guys im asking for some help. does anyone else have a # 27 marked like this?

[Bill Garvy]

Rick,

I have a maker marked "27" for the firm Anton Schenkl?s Nachfolger, but it sure isn't marked like yours. Those are some unusual double marked pieces you have posted. Of the fifty-one maker marked Iron Crosses in 2nd Class in my modest collection, none are double marked.

Rick -

Although not as extensive as Bill's EK II collection, of my own 32 representative pieces of the same, none of mine are double struck either.

Gentleman: I hope this will in some way add to the knowledge base on ek'2.

I have to imagine the shop worker who fell asleep at the wheel, or had to make a pit stop, and when he returned, hit the machine button and stamped the ring twice.

I guess the quality guy had the same problem HaHa. Well iI guess all will be checking their booty twice, looking for abnormalities. Hope to hear from you

Thanks for your speedy response .

Also please have a look at my other weird double marked #65 love it.

I have three #27 EKIIs and none of them are double marked. Does any one know when they started Or stopped double marking them? Or why.

Dave I don't think these doulbe markings were intentional. I think that they were just a production mistake. However, I'm not sure of the stamping process automated or hand fed into a press. Also the only response regarding double markings on rings was crosses that were dual marked by the same mfg. eg. L # and award #

thanks for your intrest
