    A WS overstamped with Z. Not great detail.

      The details and quality of the cores on these EK2s varies greatly. I believe it was a fairly unregulated industry with many small makers producing the items under wartime conditions. Often the thickness of the paint has an influence. I'm going to post a few examples here to show how much genuine 1914 EK2s can vary. Here is my S.
      Thanks Steve, I see a consistency in all the "S" examples shown so far.

      I really like the other examples you have posted as well. unexpected bonus and much appreciated

        Thanks, thought it would be a helpful few posts. I have my entire EK2 collection posted over on GMIC. If you're a member there let me know and I'll give you a link. I have posted my 1914 EK1s on this forum if you want to have a look. Here's a link.

          I'm sure it's genuine. Struck me as odd when I first viewed it. Some of the EKII makers were striking crisp examples and painting them nicely, some weren't.

            Yes, that's something I have noticed. That's why I decided to post a few from my collection that vary greatly. I mean that JWS is very nice, while others are bordering on shapeless blobs. The 1914 EK2 is a very common mass proiduced award. yet I still love it. Guess it takes all kinds to make a collection.

              And then there's the rust issue where the rust happens beneath the surface and weakens the original definition.
