Meybauer - the Mini maker Mark ?

[ubisacco]

Hi gents,
I was wondering while i were sorting Out my Meybauer EK's. The three with the "Mini mark" i own are all obvious from the '20 or '30s.
While all WW1 period made crosses have the standard sized "Meybauer crest".

Is it correct then that the "Mini Mark" was introduced well after WW1? Or has anyone seen a war-period Cross with the small crest?
And how is it with the Prinzen crosses from this maker.

Would love to get your opinions.

This is the first I remember hearing about 2 marks except for some discussion many years ago about a possible fake Meybauer mark

I agree with Greg.

There are some pretty good fake Meybauer EK1 Prinzens, and also a pretty good fake Meybauer mark. I would suggest you post photos of your Prinzens here -- front, back and mark -- and let's see what we can see

Here's a fake:

Hi to all,
I was referring to both sizes of the mark on standard sized crosses. The Prinzen are another chapter as i See it. And my cuestion focuses on if anyone has a war period Cross with the "Mini" Mark.
All Exempels with the mentioned Mini i ever saw, were postwar productions. Hence the question if the Mini-mark was introduced After WW1? Or has anyone Seen a warperiod cross with the mini-mark?
