What are the favourite EK makers?

[Bernie Brule]

Just wondering what the preferred imperial EK makers are. I know Godet crosses are favoured. Any other makers?

Here's my prized Godet EK1 just acquired from a good friend.

My heart beats for an more or less unnamed maker.. I´ve seen crosses marked with KAG, Y and V. Nobody knows who made this crosses, but I love them more than anything and I´m hunting them more than any other items, but this year I only managed to find 1 EK2 and 1 EK1

Pieces of my grand grand grand dad, both of this maker. Guess that´s why I love them so much, because the family pieces are always the first you find and the ones you fell in love with the most I believe

I personally prefer Meybauer, K.M.S.T and Hansen are also very popular.

By the way nice crosses guys

Like others, I like Godets. When you hold one in your hands, you can
see and feel the quality. However-- The AWS and Hanson's have very distintive crowns which sets them apart from others. The Hanson with
the large silver disc is a very substantial cross and just oozes quality.

I think my favorite ---and one that I'm still searching for is the early
type A Wagner Ek1. The sharp core details make the early 1870s
the best of any of the EK families.
