New EK1. Square Punch Pinback.

[Steve Campbell]

This arrived with my new CD800. It's an EK1 pinback with the unknown square punch mark. This mark is thought to be a quality control mark as opposed to a maker's mark, but who knows. Either way, I like these, and have an EK2 with this mark on the ring and an EK1 screwback with this mark. This one furthered the collection. Another collector has suggested to me that these crosses are somehow related to the CD800 maker.

This piece is most likely a replacement cross, has a glossier finish on the core than the CD800 I have posted, and is vaulted. It's in overall decent shape

A better shot of the square punch mark.

This maker, whomever it was made some nice crosses.

So, have all the EKs with this stamp turned out to be the same?

No.

As with a majority of makers.
