[monfort]

Hi

I am not very comfortable with the EK2 1870 since there is a lot of good copies on the market

I would appreciate your oponion on this one:

3 parts
magnetic
no mark
closed ring






Thank you !

I am not sure about this one. I wish I knew for sure as I have one
just like it. I have posted mine here and on the GMIC forum with
no one really knowing for sure.

I sent several links concerning discussions we've had about this style of

Detlev believes them to be a a wideframe varient produced post 1900
as a private purchase piece. ( NOT an issue 1871-1873 cross )

This would put it in the same catagory as other Jubilee pieces.

Here are some links to old discussions of this style of cross-
