EK 1939 Some additional EK2's

[Richard Gordon]

As mentioned in the DEumer EK1 thread, I was waiting for 2 EKII's to arrive. They came in today so I'd like to share with you all.

I think one is S&L but I have no clues to the marker of the other. If you've any ideas please do post them.

First up, what I think is a S&L.

[Richard Gordon]

Next one... I had though perhaps K&Q but when it arrived and was examined closely, it doesn't appear to be.

Any ideas?

[Richard Gordon]

Both together.

the second one also reminds me of a K&Q,

but the flange is narrower than theirs.

not sure who's manufacture it is, but both are

beautiful, richard!

I agree with Joe,they are really beautiful-it looks like it's easier to identify an unmarked 1914 2nd class than one of the '39 species.....I tried but no match,sorry!

Thanks for the comments and for trying to ID them! Some of the differences between makers are minute... I was sure the 2nd was K&Q from the frame ribbing until I got to the '3' in 1939 and then realised they did not match.

This is the condition I like my EKII's in...untouched from the day they were handed out. Underneath that 60 year old patina are two beautiful crosses!

The second one does look very much like a K&Q even down to the matt finish core, remember though we see K&Qs with 2 different cores!...the so called "short 3" and "long 3", does it not match either of those??

Dave,

You are a star! You've just confirmed what I was suspecting... Only yesterday I was looking at another '65' online and found it matched mine exactly. From there I was beginning to wonder if there were 2 cores!!

Thanks mate!

[Dave B]

No worries Rich mate, glad I could help

Some more in:

While unmarked, I believe this to be a Meybauer.

[Richard Gordon]

And lastly this one, I believe to be a Deumer.

And with packet.

I'm liking very much... the Deumer and its envelope

Would look very nice along side my Deumer screwback.
