Hello to every fellow member, I would like to make this thread here as well to post one of my new EK on a medal bar i just got a few days ago. I noticed a maker mark on it, but its either crocked or just all good but to me its not very clear. I made some very good pics of it, and i posted it up on my website, here are some links.

Many thanks in advance. Kind regards, Les

Hello PinPon, I think this is a maker #4 Steinhauer & Luck, also what you can find pretty common is that the small loop at the top is soldered only at the front, and then just bent back... I would like to see what others think but im pretty sure about my thought on it. regards, Les

Reply to the start of the thread is one word ; GOLDFINGER .... :D

Any ideas guys ?..would appreaciate any thought on it Cheers, Les

Hello everyone on the forum, I would like to post one of my parade mounted EK2`s, on which Im not quite sure on the maker, and i would appreciate your thoughts concerning the name of the maker. I think that its either a 23 or 24, but i am not sure, maybe im totally wrong. The link below takes you to the photos that are on my website ; http://wehrmacht43.g...647&gid=2690984 Many thanks in advance for your time. regards, Les

sorry mate i must have missed Gordon`s post earlier... :beer:

i dont quite agree, its the same with the knights cross, you can easily tell postwar and pre-45 Knights crosses from their die flaws. The same is true to the EK`s, even in the period they had die flaws, which later become even worse, which is quite obvious why., like on the S&L post 45 KC-`s, plus as mentioned the Rudolf Souval company made awards, well on the EK1, its also easy to tell which is post and pre 45, the hardware is not the same. regards, Les

Very nice stuff Peter, I like the way you did the photography and some very rare items there regards, Les
