This is the best zoom I can give you guys..

WTF ???

It is a converted (and put backward) 1914 EK 2nd class !!!

Firstly I was thinking even about 1914 Grand cross, but that piece is for sure a regular size 2nd class.

Well, I saw many EK II converted to RK (even I have one that piece) but it always was a 1939 pattern cross. Maybe even there are some of 1957 EK II converted to RK, but 1914 pattern ??!!! Wow....
