EK 1939 EK2 maker marked 100

[FrontlineAntiques]

Hey Chaps

Just been offered this piece - but i have a bad feeling about it.

The price is good, but I have a bad feeling. These are the only photos the seller can provide.

I particularly dislike the darker corners of the cross where it appears that a silver paint has flaked away. The seller says the ring is marked 100 but I cant see it....

Am i being over sceptical or are my worries justified?

Have a great weekend

Hi Dan,

There's nothing wrong with that one except a little wear. It's a typical Wächtler & Lange cross.

These usually retain their exceptional finish quite well, but there are some areas where the

rhodium plating has flaked away (the 'black' looking areas).

If the price is good, I would have no hesitation in adding it to my collection.

Regards - Danny

Cheers Danny.

That's put my mind at rest! Will make an offer in the morning and hope the missus doesn't find out!
