Ek 1

[Haraldur Axel]

Hello all, i am clueless here. I cant for the life of me tell if this cross is it real or fake.? Can someone give me a hint? Thanks in advance

[Steinar]

copper core? got a pic of the back?

[Steinar]

a picture of the back would of course be helpful, but it might be a Zimmermann...

[Stahlhelm]

Yes, I'd say a picture of the back would help for a sure evaluation.

Back

Here is the back picture and thanks for the replies
It is magnetic
As you see there is some green stuff on the hinge it has been there long long time
it´s well hard, do i dare try and clean it off?

[Steinar]

not a zimmermann 20 pin

[Steinar]

IMO, its not unlike maker 1, Deschler & Sohn or 26, B. H. Mayer's Kunst-prageanstalt :/ im such good help lol

[Haraldur Axel]

Yes i can see the pin is very similar thank you

It's no Deschler frame, but you should compare it with either L/15 or 26
