I think it's an original EK II, but no Zimmermann.
Zimmermann EK's have another number design (smaller numbers), like Godet.

Thanks, The number is hard to make out,even using a magnifying glass. The vendor said he could make out a 2 and thought he saw a 0.

Hi!

I agree with Grueni. It's not a Zimmermann. It's like it is with the IC1st class from Zimmermann an Godet.
The crosses by Zimmermann 2nd and 1st Class are identically constructed with those by Godet.

For example a can show you a IC 2nd Class by Godet.

Hi Michael!

Hard Question. I've searched a few hours in my private Database and i didn't found crosses with similarities.
I've only pictures from one mm20 EK 2 which is also a questionable piece.
I think we cannot say for sure who is the manufacturer of your cross.
What we can say is that it's a original Iron Cross 2nd class from good quality and fine condition.
I collect Iron Crosses since a few years and IMO crosses like yours can be a good and interesting part in your collection.
Be sure that the day will come and you will know which maker built this cross.

Thanks again Andreas. I saw a couple other with similar maker marks being discussed on another forum,but there was no consensus on whether or not they were from Zimmerman.I guess I will have to use better optics to see the maker mark.
