Hi gents

I've been trying to I.D the maker of this 20's, 30's era cross, seems to be a mix. 3 or 4 part construction, magnetic core.

Are there any marks along the ribbon ring? If so what do they say?

Here's a link to a good reference for EK makers and their individual markings:

Hi George

That would be too easy my friend, no I'm afraid this is one of the countless, nameless breed, but I see some comparisons to the 30's Deumer. Also, it has two different crown types.

[Kriztofer]

Anyone !! :unsure:

[Kriztofer]

I guess no one knows about this one. Where are all the Imperial guys, this space used to be hoppin???

[gregM]

I am not 100% on this but I am thinking Deumer.

[Kriztofer]

Thanks Greg, I'm also not 100% but It's nice to have a second opinion. Have you seen this variation with two different crowns before?

[gregM]

If you mean the crown on the obverse side being the same as the crown on the reverse side?

Maybe Steve or Micha will correct me on this but aren't the crowns always different from

side to side.

This cross has two different style/shape crowns, I haven't seen this before and I don't think it's the norm, at least not on any of my others.

I thought I had one that was a match to yours to compare against but on closer

examination, mine has a slightly different style core. --my bad.

I agree with you about the time frame.But no Deumer! Still an unknown maker(who produced also 1st classes).Your example seems to be much better than the one in my collection...the very most of these crosses have a big loss of paint at the coer so you can be lucky to have this one!
