EK 1914 1914 EK1 "AWS"

....which I thought was pretty conclusive!

Note the date on the invoice. The item that came with the invoice in the auction was a scewback EK - unfortunately I didn't win the auction.

Regarding AWS logos on 1914 EK1s, here the logo on my example, which is still the least worn example I have yet to find.

Regards

It would appear they were an all over military outfitter. For one thing they made some very nice quality officers spiked helmets. Here are the labels from one.

Just got this one in, a nice pin back EK1. The brown on the core is lint of some sort that I have to remove.

The reverse. This maker sure used alot of different reverse setups.

How many other Imperial EK makers have fancy symbols like this? I have a EK2 that has 2 different marks on the ring that is attached to the cross itself but I can't tell what they are. One of them appears to be some sort of stylized symbol kind of like the AWS one shown here, although it is different. The other mark is 3 letters or numbers by the look of it. Is there a list showing different maker symbols as opposed to just letters? I'm really wondering what these marks are.

Here's a pictute of the cross itself.

Meybauer also had a nice looking mark

Thank's don't think that's it but if I knew what I was looking for it would help. I'm using a 15x loup but may need more.
