New arrival in my collection. Marked on the ring "E.W"?? I have a slight concern about the fact that the frame seems to be riding the W (bottom left and top right of the W) as if the frame is too small. Is this to be expected?

No problems with it, I have many EKs with the core not exactly centered in the frame. Is it really not magnetic? This would be a little rarity!

It is not so much the "riding over" the W that concernes me but the fact that the underneath part of the frame seems to have been "pulled up" (arrowed bits). See what I mean?
Are you asking me if the cross is acting like a magnet? If so, no. It is steel-based I guess (is attracted by a magnet).
Can you explain about this. I was not aware of anything related to this.Attached Files

These "pulled up" marks you can find sometimes. The frame is usually hollow-made. With magnetic I meant, that it is attracted by a magnet, so your cross has the correct iron core. But variations with brass or zink cores are possible but very rare.
Here is a pic of the construction:Attached Files

The EK on this medal-bar has got a brass core and was maybe made in the 20s or 30s:Attached Files
