        Very nice cross in a gorgeous condition, still frosty
        If I am not mistaken its a so called, AWS 1st. core type and mine a AWS 3rd core type! Yours is an earlier cross than mine, I think?

        Thanks for showing.

          You're right. The first type of core was manufactured during the First world war. It crosses with the first type of core I have seen more than once with the stamp of the silver sample. The cross with the third type of core I see for the first time with the stamp of the silver sample.

                Could you hang a timelinee on the different core types from AWS?

                Regards,

                  Hello Alex,

                  Very nice to hear
                  There is still a lot to discover and to learn about the 1914 crosses. As you can see in this thread. I am also learning almost every day.

                  Maybe one day the 1914 crosses were examined (also in Books) just like the 1939 crosses ..... who knows?

                  Regards,
                  Henk

                    Thank you all for sharing your crosses and knowledge about these beautiful crosses.
                    I am trying to learn how to identify makers and was wondering if there is any way to identify the frame from others.

                    Many thanks , Mark

                      That is one of Trevor's pictures and one that I use to identify
                      the AWS cores also.

                        Apologies, in my post showing my own crosses I called the second one a core 2 when it should be a core 3.

                          In my opinion core 1 was used from the beginning of WWI till some time during the war. Core 3 replaced it and was used till AWS stopped making EKs (some time before 1939). Core 2 was used simultaneously with core 3, probably in the interwar years, but on budget versions of the cross; it is usually non-magnetic and found in alloy (non-silver) frames. There are some exceptions, but that is my sense of the timeline.

                              Thanks Green

                              But what I meant was that in this post I misidentified the core of the second cross.

                              This graphic is still correct:
