Jock Auld Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Guys, Not much about today, this seemed a nice untouched cross with a more than generous amount of ribbon. Maker I think is S but it could I suppose be 5 or 8 as well, whichever makes sense. Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregM Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 It's an "S" which is still an unknown maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saschaw Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 It's an "S" which is still an unknown maker. There are two known official EK suppliers beginning with S: Hofgoldschmied (court gold smith) Schaper from Berlin and Hofjuwelier (court jeweller) Heinrich Schneider from Leipzig. According to Wernitz, the "S" found on EKs stands for the latter, but I think it's much more likely to be Schaper, who made many more crosses, and thus was the more important maker.
