    1870 ek2

    Looking at the EKII

    Can anyone please help me verify the authenticity?

    I think it looks good. No makers mark though.


    All help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think it's a good one although probably made post 1895 and maybe even later.
    I say that because of the really poor detail in the crown.

    Original 1870 Ek2s are never maker marked.

      Very strange.

      I saved the pics and uploaded them here.

      Looks like we have two different crosses here.

      The front is a very soft detailed (Not seen this bad details on one in a long time?) A-core, and the reverse is from an AWS cross.

        "Original 1870 Ek2s are never maker marked."

        I did not know that. I don't like the crown either. Not saying it's fake, but I don't think I'll buy it.

        I already got burned on an EK2 1870 from Time Traveler Militaria. I will never do business with them again.

            Kay is right. Two entirely different crosses.
