ekhunter Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 You do manage to show crosses that I can continuously find myself saying "That's the first I've seen like that too." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike K Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hi Micha,A very interesting variant indeed. THe KMST is raised, not stamped, correct? Excellent addition! Both of my "standard" screwback are totally unmarked on the reverse of the cross, but one of the screwdiscs is "KM 800" marked. From memory, there are 800 marks on the upright "rings" of the screwdisc. Pics of one attached (buggered if I can find the pics of the other one!).Having seen this one now, I am thinking the DRGM was not alowed because this "standard" screwback style was used by many manufacturers and could therefore not be patented.RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorhead Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Yes,the stamping is raised! Your explanation about the missing DRGM makes sense-a "common" screw as attachment system isn't enough to get a "DRGM". This one is one of the last EKs my "EK-mentor" has left in his collection! He's given up collecting totally-but I was able to get the most important pieces for my own collection. Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekhunter Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Couldn't help but notice that in the last photo that Mike K. showed of the reverse set ups, that he has one of the 'sliding' KMST DRGM crosses. Can barely make it out, but it is one of them. Would love to see a photo of that one. Curious if their is any variation among that style. It's one of my favorite attachment styles. Thanks.

gregM Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) Micha,Another wonderfull cross. CongratulationsEkhunterI think there is one known variation. Some of the KMST slide backs have the makers marks stamped into the cross while on others the makers markand DRGM is raised.Here is a picture of mine with the raised makers mark.

Mike K Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 As requested.Seems like the KMST can end up on either cross arm, depending upon whether the back of the cross has been rotated 180 degrees.RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekhunter Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Thanks, Mike. I see you have quite a few of the KMST crosses. Very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
