My second 1870 EK2

[Danny70]

Hello All...

It is with thanks to Kay that I have now added my second 1870 EK2 to my collection.

It is a beautiful cross in hand although the black finish is very well worn on the core (It looks to me as if the cross may have been cleaned at some stage and the black finish suffered as a result). The ring is soldered on both sides.
I believe this to be considered as an 'award period' cross, it weighs 16.1 grams and measures 41.5mm wide by 41.19mm high.

I'm really happy to have landed another 1870, and these have begun to create a shift in my interest from TR EK's towards Imperial crosses. (That and the fact that I can't seem to find any more TR EK2's that I don't already have without going down the LDO road which doesn't really interest me for some reason).

I hope this meets with your approval!
Regards - Danny
