Is everything in order with these five EK2 Round 3 ?

[wrongplanet67]

Does one of them stand out as nicest example of its class?
Are all of them made by Deschler?
Many thanks for your expertise!

All made by Deschler and all original .
In it's class stand out I would say : 1 and 5
#1 as best thick variant and #5 as a 'bevelled ' frame variant .

Sorry but I don't agree that all crosses EK2-1939 Round 3 was made by Deschler. Firstly, there is no evidence for this, secondly, why one of the manufacturers would create several matrices of the same type of core of EK2-1939 cross... This opinion cannot withstand the opposite arguments, sorry.

Hi Jarek,
I think you misunderstand what Douglas is saying. I understand he means to say that these 5 crosses that I'm showing are all made by Deschler.
But yes, even I know that not all "round 3" crosses are made by Deschler and that other (unknown) manufacturers were making round 3 crosses.

The reference was to those 5 crosses only .

Jarek, I doubted that as well, until I saw this very nice round 3 ek1.....

It was shown here on WAF by "soldon" .

As you can see this cross has the well-known Deschler frame.

Well, because this particular Round 3 cross is made by Deschler, but that doesn't mean that all types of Round 3 crosses were produced by Deschler
