ogfm Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 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....

mametz Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Fantastic cross, you are lucky to find that one, what other crosses are markedon the frame rather than the ring? Regards Mametz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogfm Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 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.Regards,Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

ogfm Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
