Danny70 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Hi All...My cross collecting has slowed down considerably now that I have managed to get an example of most of the widely available makers, so now it's a case of hope to get lucky and be in the right place at the right time! So, up for your perusal is my most recent acquisition, a rather salty '22' - Boerger & Co. EKII. Not one that is seen everyday.This one is unfortunately suffering from the very early stages of a rust problem on the swastika and a spot on the upper arm. Otherwise a great cross with all paint intact and quite a lot of frosting remaining on the beading.It has a good clear maker stamp on the suspension ring. The '3' in the '1939' date is quite distinctive and reminds me of the '3's on Godet crosses.Hope it meets with approval! All opinions or comments are, as usual, much appreciated.Regards - DannyObverse:Reverse:Maker mark: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve campbell Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Great looking cross. It doess get harder to pick these up after you get the more common makers. I'm finding the same with Imperial EK2s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 HelloA nice EK, and one of the less common ones as well. I wouldn't call it 'salty', rather it's a sleeper. It appears to still have all it's frosting intact, and the frames have simply toned over the years. Very nice ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Danny,that's a rare bird-hard to get if you are really looking for one! Full score Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK SCHMID Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Hi Danny;I like the cross as it doesn't have the sloppy core paint job that got on the beading.You will find the search gets harder, the results scarcer, and the purchase price increases. Good luck with your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 It has a good clear maker stamp on the suspension ring. The '3' in the '1939' date is quite distinctive and reminds me of the '3's on Godet crosses.Maybe a question of retooling? "22" made round 3 crosses at one stage.
