Imperial EK2s for maker ID

[Stepdale]

Hello,
I picked up some EK2s recently and just wanted to get them checked out here by those more knowledgeable than I am. I went through the data base but I'm hopeless when it comes to picking out the details so appreciate any help I can get here. I apologize for the quality of the photos but hopefully they'll suffice.
Thank you,
Dale

EK #1 has something on the large read that may be a partial maker mark or just a dent. The small ring has a mark that looks like a diamond with a dot in the middle of it.

EK #4 has a partial mark that I can't read.

EK #5 is unmarked and thus I have no clue as to the maker. DSC09636.JPG DSC09635.JPG

Can anyone help me on EKs 1, 4 and 5?
Thank you,

First one looks like an F to me.

Thanks, Kirby. I tried my best to see if the cores match, but must admit I’m hopeless at the task. The mark on the ring is also too faint for me to read it at all. I appreciate your help.
I think it doesn’t help that my photos of the EKs aren’t the best, but it took me so long to get the forum to allow me to post them that I just haven’t had the time or will to try to make and post better ones.

Hi Dale,
You're welcome. The last cross looks like it could be D or H but the pics in the database are tough to compare to yours. The crosses with generic cores are tough for me too. Comparing the subtle differences in the beading is a tedious job!
