Odd EK 2 1914.

Hi guys!
Huge part of fun in collecting things is going through piles of pictures and information trying to identify your presious finds. I got this rather odd cross few weeks ago. I'd like to see how mine attempt in idiyng works out.
I think this is Deumer. Drilling went wrong. And jump ring never been fitted.
May be you can add something to it? May be i am wrong?

It's a nice Deumer. However the drilling was done way after assembly. You can see the lug where the jumpring used to be attached. Why someone drilled a hole in the frame is a mystery. Perhaps the jumpring broke, and the poor veteran wished to still carry it and drilled a hole so that he could sew it on a piece of ribbon. Anyway, I like pieces with wear like that!

I like the way you thinking. I suppose it adds up some charm to it.

I like it.
I like the patina on the frame and the gold toned cupal
showing through on the high points of the cross.The fact that jump ring is missing
and it's been drilled doesn't bother me in the least.
