I've had this cross for a couple of years, in fact it was my first EK. One thing I noticed is the where the left arm and the lower arm meet, the point seems to go into the swaz. What's going on here? Anyone seen this before? Is it good? Thanks, Steve

I'll answer here. Being that cores were not really firmly set in the frames, there are some EKs that are off center. Might have come from the factory that way, might have shifted at a later date.
Hope that helps

That's awesome guys. Funny thing about the wide frame idea. This cross sits in a case next to a 1914 EK1 made in the TR era, so it they should be the same size right? Last night when I was having a look I noticed for the first time really that this EK2 looked slightly bigger or a bit different. Wide frame crossed my mind, but I didn't know for sure. Now here are a couple of people confirming it! I was never really suspisious the cross was fake as such, it was more the flaw in it I was wondering about. It's good to have some comfirmation all the same. So these crosses are slightlly larger eh? How rare are they? Thanks, Steve

Hello
Wide frame EK2s aren't rare. Price wise they are the same as any 'run of the mill' EK2. They aren't necessarily bigger than any other EK2, (mine measures 44.92mm across against the 44.68mm of a 'standard' EK2 which sits next to it in my collection. The 'wide' part refers to the fact that the flange is wider than that normally encountered.
