IC2 from royal mint in Stuttgart

[BlackcowboyBS]

Hi,

I would like to show you an IC2 from the royal mint in Stuttgart, at least this is, what the mark in the ring indicates. I am not sure, if we have seen this mark here before.

Nette Stuck. Several IC2 KM ring stamps have appeared over the years I have been filing images. Of course, that doesn't make any of them 'right' but they certainly look OK in the photos. Also, listed as a known stamp on 1914 IC2s by BOWEN. NIce find.

Just realised I also have one in my own collection. Images attached for core comparison etc.

I used to have EK2 stamped KM and 800

Sadly sold to fellow collector.

As far as i remember the reverse side of the iron core was a bit vaulted . not a flat as the the obverse

The quality of the core and its finish was excellent

A 1914 EK11 'KM' also in the Max AURICH collection as cited (C31) by HEYDE. And, as you would expect, another example appears as T193 in WERNITZ & SIMONS from an 'unknown maker'. It seems they are to be found everywhere.
