EK 1939 small one

[Stijn David]

Hello,

Here is one that is already for over 10 years in my possesion, i never much cared to look at maker marks on rings of my EK's. The clasp EK 2 is a unmarked Buntmetal piece.

The EK has however a marking on the ring, the core of the EK is very flat and i assume it is a WWII produced piece. (However im not certain of this) , the maker mark looks like what appears to be either 50 or 60. (or am i totally wrong on this one and does the mark represent a WW1 one?)

Any opinions?

Cordial greetings and thanks for looking

Hello Stijn,

The maker mark is KO( K?nigliches M?nzamt Orden)and is an Imperial era made cross.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the information , any idea on who the clasp could have produced?, it is a unmarked piece but mayby it bears the characteristics of a known maker?

Cordial greetings
