EK2 - maker?

[grueni1208]

All EK II's with supposed maker's mark 86 were Souval EK II's with maker's mark 98

I have only a packet by Paulmann & Crone.

Of note, Bob, the Paulmann & Crones I have (2) are the crudest crosses I have ever seen. Not only is the detailing of the frame poor, but the construction as well. Even the swasi is way undersized for the frame, both of them. One of the vet p/u's has the frame falling apart - very poorly soldered. And that particular cross still has a wonderful finish to it, so it is not that it was mishandled over the years, no, it was constructed poorly.

As I said, my knowledge of EK's can always be improved, and as usual, you have done so, Robert.....

Thanks,
Bob.

Bob,

I try and share what little knowledge I have, or think I have, to help others like everyone else here. These Paulmann & Crone crosses can't talk, so we have each other to try and piece together the past, which is always rewarding when we stumble on to clues. I have two of their packeted crosses, which is just a start. Thank you for your help, Bob.

"BTW, this one came directly from the grandson of the vet."

Danny, did it come with the P&C packet?

Robert

Unfortunately it came without a packet.
But there is still more where this one came from, so if the matching packet
should turn up, I will let you know.

I'm surprised Paulmann & Crone wern't shot for their terrible craftsmanship. They are very interesting peices though
