Just from the little bit posted, It calls into doubt who we believe made the

AWS and CD 800 marked crosses and may help clear up the mystery

of the "Silber" marked Ek2s.

I don't see anything called into question by now, at least nothing of the mentioned.

But, nice findings. ;)

How do we know that the CD 800 crosses are from Carl Dillenius and

not from Alfred Ringele?

[Chris Boonzaier]

There has long been a tendency to try and guess the stamps.... like WW1 EKs with FR as Franck and Reif... totally wild and wrong guess.

I agree. A lot of assuptions have been made.

Here is a image from the book showing the different makers marks.

CD is one of the very few that are not only guessed but with some nice indication: a CD cross found in a blue paper by Dillenius.

Not a proove - but more than this new find.

Who know when the cross was placed in the paper and by whom. We had the same problem with a PAB marked AS in a triangle that was found in an AD Schwerdt envelope.

Right Don, that's why I said it's not a proove. Find me a CD cross in a Ringele paper and we're 1:1.

:whistle:
