Maker Mark

As requested,here are some scans of the Ek-the stamp looks like a half "S"... Micha

this was inside.....

The stamp...

open..

This one dropped in this morning-a nice EK2 in the originalpaper,together with the small(unfortunately damaged) paper bag.Under the red "S" is something written with a pencil,but I can't read it....The EK itself is maker marked,but the stamp is very unclear,but it could be an "S" Micha

After all the strange "Godet" EKs-this one dropped in today...blued sheetmetal core-but with "800" silver content stamp! This is new to me.... Micha

And the next one....it looks like round pin Godets are becoming a fashion! http://cgi.ebay.de/EK-1-Godet-Berlin-1914_...itemZ6286379905 Micha

Well,I've simply forgotten the AWS-mea culpa! The other two Eks are new to me-a few years ago I owned a 3 piece EK with such a round needle-but I never liked it because of the poor quality and until now I was the opinion it was just a simple unprofessional repair...The one piece EK I was talking came together with some other medals and some documents.A friend of mine bought it and traded it for some TR stuff.It wasn't really nice,but in good condition.Unfortunately my pics of these group where lost in a hard drive crash-With some luck he still has got the pics..... Micha

It's also new to me-very well detailed core,I wouldn't have a problem with it.Probably made in the 20ies Micha

Mike, exactely my thoughts about it.When I remember right there's just one type with the round pin(one piece construction) Micha

OK-if this cross is good and the maker mark is bad-it's offered as a Godet which it is shurly not! So what would you call this? And-I don't like the crown,I don't like the date and I don't like the pin.....just my two cents.Have you got a matching EK in your collection? Pieces of the 30ies are everything but not rare.... Micha

Tony, here are some Zimmermann's... http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...p?t=151714-much better quality than the suspect Godet. The biggest question for me-why should have Godet used totally different cores,frames and pins?We know from other makers that they have used different cores and frames(Meybauer for example....)but with the same setup.Without the stamp at the backside no one would think this one could be a Godet. Nad a piece produced by someone else? Why-Godet was big in business,they produced all kinds of medals and awards.... Micha

This one is a little different.......... http://www.militaria.de/cgi-bin/item.pl?item=47385 Micha

This one dropped in last week-one of the rarest screwbacks you can find! I've seen more L/12 than Godet ones...anyway,this one has got the maker mark at the right side(my other one has got it under the little pin) Micha
