EK1 copper plated

[franki]

Hello Gents,

I would like to introduce here an EK1 with copper plated core. As well known is such a cross not very common.
Gents, what do think what maker it has made?

The reason of this question is, I have compared all of them, which I have in my collection, and have sighted a little difference.

Actually only come two in question: Großmann or Deumer

All coments to this question are appreciate.

Best Franki

what makes you think Großmann?

[franki]

I think so.
I have attached here another one. Please have a sharp look at the date.
I have sighted a little difference in the cipher ONE.
The ONE is one time commensurate with the remain of the date (below) and one time shorter (above).
I am right ?

I think this is one of those things we'll never know.
It seems alot of cross-pollination went on, maybe alot more than we think.
If it's not maker/assembler stamped... goes back to godet/zimmermann?
here are the dates, easier to see

I have set in this thread 'cause here and there be assured that is no diffrence between the marker 11 and L/11 (3). So it gives no crosses from Großmann ' caus 11 and L/11 are the same. Especially the reverse of the crosses is completly the same.
Unfortunately I never have had an 11 stamped cross in my hands.
I would be very pleased if an owner of the 11 cross could say anything about it.
