1914 Ek1 with needle pin

Gentleman! Does anyone out there have an identification on this 1914 Ek1? I've looked through the books I have and queried google to no avail... thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum.
That is a nice looking cross and I wish I could give you a definite answer
but I can not. The core design was used by several different manufactures.

My first instinct is to say that this pin is not original to the cross and that
it is a very early repair. however, having said that, some 1870 Wagner crosses
used a needle pin. Wagner also used that style core in some of their 1914 crosses so
a person might think that this might be a Wagner variation .

Thank you Greg! Well, you've put me further down the trail for identification, thank you!
