Well if you view this thread the general concensus was not prinzengrossen.

If the specs and quality are there, why wouldn't it be considered a Prinzengrosse?

Compared with the size of a 1870 P-G EKII from a book it is right. Might be a cross from the 30s because of the frosted frame, but still a Prinzengrösse in my opinion. For what reason ever someone mounted it on this simple bar.
Well manufactured with iron core and good details. It has a clean frame, but a little bit shiny due the silver-plating.
