Two Marker Marked EK2s. MMs 55 & 65

[DavidM]

Hello

I've just received two nice maker marked EK2s, both of which are, in my opinion, text book examples of each manufacturers work.

First up is a '55' marked cross, J E Hammer & Sohne, Geringswalde. Although it doesn't show to well in the photos, there are numerous die flaws visible on the rims. Overall not in bad condition. The cross measures 43.99mm x 44.12mm.

The second one is (yet) another '65' marked cross, Klein und Quenzer, Idar Oberstein. This one is in pretty good condition and measures 44.57mm x 44.53mm. I don't know what it is with these K&Qs, but I seem to keep buying them.

As usual, any comments or observations welcomed.

Thanks.

Regards
David

Rear of EK2 MM 55. I also apologise for the bad photos as I've had to use a flash to capture them, with the exception of this shot which I maanged without the flash.

Hi david two very nice originals . Most of the 55s I have seen including my own are pretty well worn. For some reason these did not stand the test of time as well as other makers.
