EK 1939 EKI for consideration

[robert pierce]

Bill,

As you know decisions are renewed when further evidence is produced. I'm just working with what I have at this time. And, after reading many threads recently on the '22' EKII's, my question is which example of the seven do we use as a guide? I have studied my '22' EKII maker mark, and find it different from the many others I have seen in threads. The 'tail' of the '2's turn up, where the others are straight. So, I have a question with this. Do you feel that your '22' EKII's core and frame matches my EKI cross? Are you quite certain? In the photos above I see a difference in the frame beading at the corners...

Hi Robert, hi Bill,

the numbers in the 1939 look different between Bill`s EK2 and Robert`s EK1, the swasi on Bill`s EK2 is different, too.

It goes straight down and on Robert`s cross, the swasi is light sloping

I don?t believe that both crosses are made bey Wiedmann. IMO the EK2 was made by a different maker, that i don?t know at the moment.

Best wishes,

Oliver
