1&3 are propably from Wagner und Sohn. Owned an EK1 of this type form WS.

2 is completly unknown to me. Never saw a cross with such a fat beading before.

4 is a nice Q. Unknown maker iirc.

5 is a Meybauer.

I have seen an 1870 very similar to number 2 above. It had the crown on the reverse flattened on the left side also. The other odd things it shared with no.2 was the larger than what I call normal "W" and oak leaves. I did not like the 1870 because of the above reasons . Yours may be a n unknown variation , but I find the crown to not make sense. Why would a manufacturer create a die that had a flattened crown to fit in the frame when it would just as easy to remake the crown correctly. Sloppy or lazy workmanship. Sorry that my opinion is not positive.
