Thank you Scott & Joe !

The set came from a friend of mine from Germany. I didn`t have any pics and it was a surprie to open the case....

I was searching for this maker more than 1 year.

Now i need a L/56 mm EK2....

Oliver

Fantastic cross, you are lucky to find that one, what other crosses are marked

on the frame rather than the ring?

Hello Mametz,

there are only two makers, who marked their crosses in the frame, L/12 and L55.

For the L/12 i was searching some years and for the L55 it took some month, too. They are very rare, like most of the LDO marked EK2.

Here is my L/12 EK2.

Oliver

Hi Oliver

Excellent example of an L55 and with the marked box makes it a real treasure. Welcome to the scarce L55 club. You know I had to post a pic of mine. Have you ever seen one with wear or heavy patina? I haven't and makes me wonder.

Hi Rick,

yes, i had an L55 EK2 some month ago in a worn condition with rust and patina. I sold the piece on www.hood.de, because the condition was to bad for me. Maybe, i can find the old pics.

In a german forum, SDA, there is shown a worn L55 EK2 in the database.

But you are right, most of the L55 are unworn, like the L/11 and the L/54.

At the moment it is easier to find a W&L mm cross, EK1 or EK2, in mint condition, then a W&L mm cross in worn condition.

Regards,

Oliver

Here is the pic of my old L55.

This is the only i could find, it`s from the auction.

Hi Oliver: i guess that settles it they really do exist, thanks and good luck with your new ek2 , excellent condition.

What a set! The matching MM Case is a real rare find! I would assume the quest to upgrade ends here!

Lovely set you have, Oliver. Especially the early style (LDO-) case is very nice to see.

Do you also have the other case with the LDO logo on the inside?

Best wishes,

Laurens
