Motorhead Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) Something new in my collection-this nice "48" maker marked EK2 (Richard Feix/Gablonz).It looks like that this one is a bit harder to find as it isn't listed in the WAF statistics. But as you can see the hardware is W?chtler&Lange.A legit question would be-has Feix bought from W&L or is the stamping much younger than the cross? What do you think?Micha Edited August 16, 2007 by Motorhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Gordon Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 MichaDefinitely a W&L cross which leads me to ask 2 questions:Is the ring unbroken? - If not perhaps it has been added to the cross.Is the stamp period or later added? - I guess another '48' marked ring would need to be examined to check if the fonts match.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 The ring is unbroken.The patina in the stamping shows the same age like the ring......but yes,I also would like to see another 48 marked EK2.So some doubts will be left.I will keep it in my collection together with a big question mark.Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny70 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Micha,A W&L with a '48' stamp.... that's definitely an unusual one! In my very limited experience, I have never seen an EK2 stamping with those 'italic' style numbers.Are you aware of any other cross with this style of stamping?Regards - Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 What can I say....no-I haven't seen this style of numbers before,no-I haven't seen a "48" stamped W&L before! But I also have seen a "85" stamped W&L EK2.........but here's the question again-real or post war added? I think Dietrich has posted an old list of EK manufacturers with a lot of "new" makers on it(in the sense of not seen with their Pr?sidialkanzlei numbers on the ribbon rings).This EK will keep me busy for a while,I think!Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
