Help originating EKIIs!

[RobertE]

Folks, I had the unpleasant experience of posting an EKII for sale, only to discover that it was a current repro. No great loss, but I'd like your help in preventing a recurrence with these crosses I'll be stand on Estand.

The first cross is in mint condition, can't read the ring marking however -

Reverse -

EKII Number 2 - also marked but I can't read it -

[RobertE]

Obverse -

[RobertE]

Last one - this one has pitting but is the frame type a Schinkle?

[RobertE]

Reverse - the frame is silver -

Hi Robert:
First one looks like a # 3 hump frame. See my post EK2 list pics there are 40 maker marked pieces listed on Cross section of this forum

Hi Robert,

I would say that the first cross (posts #1 and #2) indeed goes with the name on the packet (it's certainly a Deumer), but I can't comment on the packet itself.

cross #3 listed IMHO not a Schinkel frame looks too wide , flange on arms too wide, but just my opinion. Envelopes not my expertise.

1. original deumer
2. fake by Floch
3. original but no Schinkel
