what marks do you see?

Hi
I have been looking at these EK2 maker marks and am unable to make them out. Hope someone will see something that I don't. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
andy

this first one I think could be WUS but I thought the u was smaller?

#2 could possibly be ED

#3 could be a LW

I do not have either one to compare to. I was just going
off the makers list. I think either Steve Campell or Motorhead
might have a LW to compare against.

These can be tough sometimes when the strikes aren't good. The first I would say is WuS, the second and third are hard to say really. the last one is LW with an 800 also in my opinion.

many thanks.Although I have an LW mark on my list I have not seen an LW 800 so I wanted to be sure.

Hello.

Do you know who is the manufacturer with the code LW?

Many thanks.

[Steve Campbell]

There are a couple of lists available that I often refer to but do not always take as gospel. Not as much is known about the 1914 series as opposed to the 1939 series in terms of makers. Less regulation and a lot of information lost to time. Using the list on Kaisers Bunker, LW is listed as an unknown maker, as the majority of these are.

Hello andya.
Could you possibly post front and back pics of the cross marked "ED"? A clear shot of the 3 oak leaves would be helpful.

Also, I don't believe the one ring is marked "K". The letter "K" has no parallel lines; this mark does. It looks more like an "N" or a "Z" on its side. If you could post a pic of the 3 oak leaves on this one it should be obvious which it is.
