Steve campbell Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I went to a local show here in Ontario today and found this. It's a 1914 EK2 that is marked 925 for silver content on the ring. I've never heard of an EK2 being marked 925, just 800, but I guess anything is possible. The cross seems fine to me. I'm just wondering about the mark. Has anyone heard of or seen an EK2 marked 925? I know 1st classes are seen with this mark, but 2nd class, I'm not sure. Do i have something nice here or is there something else going on?

Steve campbell Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Here's a shot of the mark. What does everyone think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Collector Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I seem to recall that EK's of both classes may be found in 800, 925, 938 and 950 silver. Much less common to find markings from the 900 content on the EKII, but not so uncommon on the EKI. If you will take a look at the "Der Rittmeister" website, you will see many examples of crosses marked in the 900 silver content range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve campbell Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Apparently there is known 925 marked EK2s. All the same, you don't see them much. I'm starting to feel better about this purchase, although I'm certainly open to more opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve campbell Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Thanks, I forgot to check that site. 925 is listed over there, although I only use the site as a guideline, not gosphel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
