SW ek2 marked 835...

Hi All,

got this ek2 recently. For the price of a normal EK2, so I assume it is not a fake or an upgrade.

What do you think?

Best regards,
Michel

I have severe doubts S&W would silver mark a cross on the front.

Maybe a jeweller did test it at some later point for silver and marked it, so that no one else would have to test it anymore....

I'm just learning Imp EK's, but I always thought/told Imp EK II's were never marked with the silver content. But, looking forward to learning more.

Hi Greg,

I think you've mixed that up with 1870s. Award-period Type A or Type B 1870 EKs are never marked for silver content (that we know of). Later, jubilee pieces may be so marked. But 1914 EKs are very often marked for silver content.
