Mike K Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi Andy,Have you examined the edges of this one very carefully? I don't have a problem with the core or the frames or the hardware, but I find it unusual that a TR replacement (private purchase) example would be marked with a Prasidialkanzlei (TR award piece) number. Maybe it's only a production error, but unusual combinations should be looked at carefully.RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Gordon Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi,I owned one like this myself many years ago and I could see nothing wrong with it. It too was marked '26' and was exactly the same only in better condition.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike K Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi,Thanks for the link Andy. Interesting reading! I don't recall seeing any other non-LdO marked TR period 1914 EK1s. Must have been a Mayer quirk. Of further interest (for me anyway) is that I can not match this TR Mayer core with any other 1914 EK1 cores, TR or otherwise. Looks like I'll have to find one of these for myself to study!RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve campbell Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I know that there was a thread on WAF awhile back concerning an Imperial EK2 that was marked with a 4 on the ring. The concensus was that it was good. I admit it goes against what should be, but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekhunter Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) Sweet cross Bill, or as Mr. Havercamp might say, "That's a peach". These so-called hybirds or transitional crosses have a very unique place/niche' in the collecting community. I know that Bill has been a fan of these for some time now, and I have to admit, the more I see of these type crosses, the more fascinated I am with them. I'm fortunate and lucky enough to have one of these that is a Deumer marked ekI cross. I can see someone collecting only these, and with time, luck, and money, could put together quite an interesting collection from several makers, coming in both marked, and unmarked versions, and both pinback and screwback versions of these little beauties. In this thread alone, I've seen two that I would be very happy to have in my collection. Edited September 20, 2007 by ekhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
