Hi, mates. An exiting thing happened to me this past saturday and i would like to share it with you. I was talking to a friend of mine on the phone and we were talking about this and that, but finally got down to awards. He had recently acquired a 1870 ek2 and since i had one too, we started to compare them, witch is quite difficult, on the phone..
Well, he suddenly noticed that there was a mark on the suspension ring and it was that of Wagner und sohn. I instantly said that it must be a later piece, because the older ones, to my knowlegde, didn't have any markings. I also noted that i had no mark on my piece, as i have known ever since i got it about 18 months ago. But still i checked it, suspencion ring was clear, no marks there. Then i suddenly noticed something were vague and tiny at the side of the little ring between cross and the suspension ring. I couldn't make it out, it so damned small, so i told my friend that i would have to wait to get a digitalcamera for closeups. After an hour on the phone we stopped said goodbye. Yesterday i phoned my friend with a digital camera, but he couln't make it that day. So another day wen't by..
Finally today, an hour ago, my mate showd up and we toke the pics. And no i have an maker marked 1870ek2. From the pic below, you can clearly see an "W", but rest was too much for the camera, i'll try get a closer look at it in a jewellors shop later. So two questions remain: What is the maker and from witch period is it? I have never seen a marked 1870ek2 before i saw Jani's one and the makermarks position is, IMO, quite interesting.. Opinions, PLEASE!

I'm feeling quite proud of myself now!
