EK 1914 EK2 "J" ?

Hello collectors,

what do you think about the MM? I think, it is "J". The EK has also "H" in the small ring.

Thanks maja

Hi Maja

The mark looks like a 7 to me and the H mark on the small ring is assumed to be an inspection mark.

According to the list of makers at the kaiser bunker, J would or might be a Junker made cross.

Could also be a bottom part of 'R' - Alfred R?sner

I've always considered that a 7. Mine has an unmarked ?se.

There seems to be # 5, 6 or 9 & 8 war era marked crosses that I've seen so far, not to mention the LV numbered series. I have no idea what these numbers refer to or even if they are from a maker. I would like to find out one day the significance but I fear this info is lost in a dusty box somewhere. Makes for a nice mystery though.

Hello again,

a german collector also said, it could be a part of "R". It has the typical "Godet" core and the second MM in the small ring. "7" ?? I thought, numbers were used during the time of the "Third Reich"?

I have a3 and a 7, both appearing to be wartime or early postwar issue.

I doubt that yours could be a partial R Here are 2 R's, both horizontal and vertical.

The horizontal, let's call it the lazy R, would have to be turned 180 degrees to match your mark.

Hello Tom,

is it possible, that your "7" is an incomplete "N" or "Z"?
