OTTER76 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hi guys, Just wondering who might easily spot a possible maker for my unmarked cased EK1. I tried to concentrate on imperial EKs only but this one got me. I should start meetings for this addictive behaviour... Thanks, cheers.

Paul R Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I don't know who made it, but it looks like a really nicely worn EK1. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTTER76 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks Paul. Indeed a nice piece that belonged to Major Hans Zethmeyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny70 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hello Alex, That is a very nice cross. It is hard to say for certain from the photographs, but as I think I can see the 'crunch bead' flaw, I would say the maker is Wächtler & Lange. (Juncker used very similar frames, so clearer straight on pictures would be needed to say for certain). Regards - Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I can not provide better pics out of my celphone right now, but you made me search for that crunch bead flaw tip on other threads. It is indeed present in my cross and although the pin anchor ends smoothly as a Juncker, another tip Ive read is the partially straight left side pin opposed to the curved right one. Most likely an unmarked W&L then! Many thanks for your input mate. Should I test if it has a brass core? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
