RICK SCHMID Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 (edited) Hi Guys:Here's one not see often at all, mm #20 C.F.Zimmermann. What are your thoughts most collectors haven't seem one. I personally like it, close to the vaulted frame ek 1 but not exact. I'm not sure what this means just my personnel observation.Maker mark not centered so it makes a little more difficult to examime. Does anyone have one of these for comparision. How about it Bill Garvy. Appreciated Edited March 29, 2007 by RICK SCHMID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Garvy Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Thank you for your kind words, Rick, but I don't have a"20" in 2nd Class. I would agree with you though; the cross looks good. I thought it could be a "20", or perhaps a mis-stamped "25". . .If it is a "20", it is a rare piece indeed, and the first one I have seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 It could be hat my "iron cross teacher" has got one in his collection-I will ask him for pics(when I remember right he said to me that his "20" doesn't match exactely to a 1st class "20" core".Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK SCHMID Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 (edited) Thanks GuysFor the response. My personal feelings are that the cross looks good ,but the only frame that I could see to come close for comparision was mm #137 or #138 can't remember. Someone on another forum indicated that Godet & Zimmernann were very close with their design, however I don't know, nor was he positive since #20 have not been seen at least by him or I. I guess we'll have to wait until one surfaces whenever that is. Currently working on 2 more unseen acquisitions. I will keep you posted.

Motorhead Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 To reanimate this older thread-I bought the best parts of a good '39 EK2 collection(about 20 EKs) and one of them is a "20".When I'm back home today I will take some photos(I really need a new scanner...)Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
