Unknown maker of EKII, take a look...

[Robert P.]

I know you all are getting quite bored with me for doing this every day, but can anyone identify this EKII's maker? Believe me, I only have a few unmarked pieces, and this won't go on forever. Love this flag-waver.

Could this be an unmarked '65'? The texture of the painted finish on the core seems a little rougher/courser than a marked '65' I have.

Hello,

Please post the reverse of the cross it is of some help.

I'm hoping these new photos will trigger a response from someone. I'd really like to know who made this...

That's a nice looking cross but I agree that it doesn't strike me as a 65.

Hi,

IMO: My first thought was confirmed. Mainly because of the kind of the color of the core,which is typical for this manufacturer,i immediately thought it is a 25er.
25 is the code for Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Graveur-, Gold- und Silberschmiedeinnungen in Hanau.

Therefore I compared two 25er with each other und they have both the same finish.

I made pictures for the comparison. Take a look and make your own opinion.
I think i'm right.

Regards
Andreas

You have a very good eye, Paratrooper. After looking at both crosses side by side together I can say I'm confident also. The equal spacing of the numbers of the core with their relationship to the frame, the swastikas, the '1's in 1939, everything. There might be subtle finishing differences like the radius of the filing on the frame next to the swastika, but the cross I believe is made by the same maker. Thank you for identifying this for me. I DO apprecaite it.

Respects,
Robert
