Hi guys, am trying to match the frame from a 1939 Schinkel to a 1914 one, anybody recognice the frame or have an idea on which 1914 makers to start looking at? The cross is a so called 'Halb' or 'Intermediate' Schinkel, the size matches a standard 1914 EKII completely but the inner corners where they meet the Swaz are very close together and it has some very distinctive flaws.

Hi Carl.
Sorry I never got to this one last night. Upon close examination, I'm not so sure I've got a match. I am charging the camera battery and will have some photos up within a few hours of the 1914 EK2 and the 1939 EK2 side-by-side. I'll leave my comments til I can accompany them with the photos.

PS Did I mention that I got myself one of these "Halbschinkels"?Best regards,

I've got more coming: detail photos, overlays, etc., but here they are side-by-side for starters. I'm just out of time at the moment.
I'm not so confident this is a match.Best regards,

Nice 'unknown maker' Schinkel Trevor! Love mine a lot, best made of all the Schinkel imo. Lets hope they don't stay unknown for long! Remember yours from somewhere. Do not look like a match to me, but the 1914 one is pretty worn down. Does your cross got a hump or is it filed down, am thinking of narrowing down the search to the 1914 ones with a hump, what do you think?Comment
