E.K.2 Imperial, Third Reich OR 57 PATT.??

[atcase]

Hi to all,
i am really undecided about this one. The cross on the left is a WS marked on the ring and is imperial, the cross on the right i can not decide if it is T.R or a later made one it is much larger than the Imp. and the Oak leaf cluster is very bulky compared to the Imp types. Any thoughts / opinions welcome. More pictures available.

Does the larger cross have any markings on the smaller ring?

Hi Eric,
there is nothing that resembles a legible mark at all (using a x10 glass)
and i have tried to photograph with no success yet !

Ashley-

In my opinion this is a TR manufactured EK2. I think the quality is too good to be a 1957 version.

I also think it's a TR manufacture. That 'hump' that connects the ring to the cross suggests that it was made by Wächtler & Lange. Allthough I'm not entirely sure it was the only manufacturer who had those 'humps'. There are others here who surely know better..
