EK 1939 A Souval?

[cartoonman]

This has been i.d.ed to me as a Souval... comments, guys? Metallic center, but definitely NOT silver edging, as no tarnish when I got it, in Munich, 1964, and no tarnish since.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

from these pics it is hard to say if this cross is an original or not.

But i can tell you for sure that the shown cross is not a Souval....

Is it possible to see some bigger pictures ???

---Um, it looks like I had another, er what we call in the collecting world, Another Fookin' Senior Moment!

Last year, I asked the same question, and got this response from Dave B:

....looks ok to me.

Have you got any larger photos of the Cross you could possibly post please.

And from Danny70:

From what I can see in the pictures, I don't have any immediate concerns about this cross either.

MM-13: Gustav Brehmer, Markneukirchen/Sa. (Stepped swastika)

As to your question... Was Brehmer the only producer of stepped swastika'ed EKs?

As far as I am aware, yes, but not all '13's have this feature.... however there are also some 'Round 3's with a stepped swastika, but the maker of these crosses is not known.

Gustav Brehmer is one of the makers whose crosses can often be found in surprisingly good condition (as can W&L '100's).

Here's a slightly larger view, front...

Hello there,

Sorry, but that is nothing like an original Souval EK_2.

Here's some photos for reference; surely you can see the differences.

Pay attention to what I am showing you in this photo (the corner where the beads intersect)

These are referred to as "Crow's feet" in the corners.

I hope this has helped some.
