    Couple of EK 1 L/12


    Recommended Posts

    Hi Jan Arne,

    Are you certain that the second cross is a Juncker ?

    Does anyone know the pros and cons with whats what in the L/12 EK1 and EK2 for that matter ? Differences in cores and frames, theory or fact any thought ?

    It appears the maker mark on the first example is under the pin on the reverse side of the cross, whereas for the second example, it is on the reverse of the pin. It also have strong suspicions the second example may, in fact, be an "L/13" Meybauer. . .

    Hi Guys !

    Marcus ! No I`m not really sure that second one is a Juncker EK 1 . That is also the reason I post them both to get comments on the second cross . Not so long ago I also saw a Cross marked "Lazy 2" . And the "2" was marked later on a real unmarked cross . But I payed a normal EK 1 price for the cross , so it`s not any problem if it`s not a Juncker .

    Bill ! YUPP ! I also thought about Meybauer when i got larger scans on maker marks , Mark is weak in lower parts and could be a L/13 .

    Hope to got more comments to the cross .

    Hi Jan Arne,

    Imo the second cross is definitely L/13 - the lower part of the 3 is simply not formed. Further, that other mark is imo actually a "7" - typically weakly formed on 1939 Meybauer EK1s. I don't think I've seen the double Lieferant/LdO marking on a Meybauer before! Nice one.

    Regards

    Mike

    I didn't see it either! It's my understanding that most maker marked Meybauer's, i.e. "L/13" or "7", are usually poorly marked. Here's an example of a poorly defined "7". . . (Please note the file marks on the inner corners; this cross appears to have been hand vaulted, and by whom and when remains a mystery. . .)

    Regardless, they are both fine crosses, Jan Arne!

    Hi Bill !

    Thanks !

    I had a choise between 2 EK 1`s , the other was marked only "7" . I have a couple of L/13 marked , but I miss a "7" marked EK 1 , so I was not sure who I should grab . But I fell down on the second one showed here . And even if it not was a "L/12" , it sems to be a good choise !
