he's the man on far right!

Hey jon,

Looks fine to me I would think normally these type may have an "800" stamp on them ... but not usually a maker mark per say.

Look at that vaulting

[tinmantis]

thanks Darrell
yeah, it's very vaulted, hard to get a good pic of it, but a fine delicate piece of manufacturing

Looks good. Darrell is right, these were usually private purchases, so a maker would be hard to determine for most of these.

thanks guys,
may I ask for your thoughts on the EK1 on the left also? Here's some closer shots, and reverse...

alot of 'junk-metal' between the numerals... still OK?

Hi Jon,
That's a nice pair of crosses. I really like the heavy vaulting of the first cross

and the interesting thing about the 2nd one:

I don't think it's brass, maybe just aged that color..?
