Schinkel EK II rare version

[grueni1208]

Can you please give me the following data?

• The weight of the cross?
• Is the core convex?
• I cannot see it on the pic! Is there a hump for the suspension ring at the frame of yoer piece?
• Last Question! Please tell me the widh exactly widh of the "little swaz"?

1. 19,53 g
2. I don't know what do you mean. Maybe help you my picture.
3. There isn't a hump.
4. wide: ~6,89 mm

I would say your EK II isn't a schinkel.
- The frame has the normal standard design.
- It has the standard number design
- I think it has a great standard swastica.

Only widht and height are elements of schinkel or early production.
I think it could be a Juncker EK II, too. The distinctive crosshatching and the convexity on frame are important elements of Juncker.

Ben, I don't have a camera, but upon measuring my cross I believe the swastica may be too large for a schinkel at 7.2 mm.

Grueni,
Do you know (or have theory) on who the maker the cross is that started this thread?
Thanks,
Andy B.

This cross looks to be a true Schinkel. It got frames from 1914, see this thread:

Truly amazing how much Schinkel research is currently being done by several of our most active members here. It's great to see them tackling such projects to help all of us out.

Very nice crosses displayed here as well by all.
