EK 1939 L/12 EK1.......

[Motorhead]

Gentlemen,a while ago I was the opinion only L/12 with the "crosshatching" are the real deal.Meanwhile it looks like we have minimum 2 variations of this maker.Here are my 3 Junckers in different variations.

beautiful examples, micha!

and i have another:

a wide-frame (as above), cross-hatched,

screwback marked L/12.

this one, however, is a TR era made 1914!

same cross with different core.

I think your crosses number 1 & 2 are the same frame and core. There are parts of the frame that match up but the 3rd one doesn't have these. Maybe number 3 is earlier?

See the red circles and compare the same areas in crosses 1 & 2.

@Rich-my screwback looks almost identical to my W&L L55 Now I', really unshure what to do with this Ek! It looks like that Juncker has used a lot of different hardware.Well,I will keep my eyes open for a "regular" L/12 with cross hatching........

@Joe-you've got there a variation that I haven't seen very often-I don't collect the 3rd Reich made '14 EKs,but yours is one I would make an exception!
