Makers marks on WW1 EK2's

[DaveNZ]

If a WW1 EK2 does not have a makers mark on it does that mean its authenticity is to be doubted?

Or are they like the WW2 Ek's where not all had makers marks?

I ask this because I am thinking of purchasing such a medal but there are a few things about it that worry me:

-lack of makers mark
-the black coating in the Crosses centre being a little too glossy
-the silver rims are "discoloured" (or is this usual?)

cheers

Dave,

None of these issues seem of concern. It is common to find them without maker. Also paint for some are glossy with less detailed cores. I have about 20 I just got that I will put for sale. If you are looking for anything in particular I will be happy to help you and I will post them on estand this weekend.
Best,
Marc
