...edit... As I was examining my EK2's I came across this mm marked one with cross hatching, ...edit...
Um, as I see it, this is a dead match to the one I just posted, down to the ribbon ring attaching lug leaning to the right, Rick. Mine isn't MM'ed, but I'll know what it is as soon as you let the cat out of the bag...

Hi Hank:
As I was looking at all my cross's last night I noticed this one with some crosshatching on the inner beading. Its intresting because I have 2 with the same maker mark but they have different frames. "Intresting". Here is the maker mark for the crosshatched cross that I posted earlier in the thread with the marks covered. Enjoy
That's exactly the cross that I posted in frame #37 page 3, a '27'. The maker made two distinctly differenet cores, one with a moderately high swasi and one with a very high swasi. And the stamps on the rings were different too. The cross I posted earlier (the 27) has the same stamp as yours, and the same frame cross-hatching. The other stamp was larger and without the box, just the number '27'. I've owned two in the past, and have since sold them. But is this the same cross as the others we posted that had the scrunched bead, or die flaw????
What a deal. Different frames for sure. And the last cross you posted had the same high swasi core too. I have been hunting on every website I can find, trying to locate one of these '27's with the different mark on the ring. I'm really curious if it may have the scrunched die flaw as well as the cross-hatching. This will narrow it down even more.

Hi Robert:
Both mm #27 "DO NOT HAVE" the scrunched die flaw. Also the dimensions differ from the cross hatched # 27 . Here are the dims on the 2nd #27
hght.44.36, wdth 44.39, flange 25.20, thick 4.27, wght. 20.40 gr.These dimensions are larger and weigh more than the cross hatched version. This equates to a second frame.what do you think. need opinions and confirmation from other examples.
I also see the beading is totally different on the 27's than those 'supposed' Junkers with the scrunched beads. If we're trying to make a connection between the '27' and these afore mentioned supposed Junckers, I was saying that,'Wouldn't it be something if Anton Schenkl had even another frame with the scrunched beading.' One of your 27's, and my '27' possess the same cross-hatching, and seem much more evident on his frames than any other maker's frame I have seen (at least in my collection). There may be a link, I don't know. But it's one avenue to keep in mind.
Likewise, I'll give some measurements as well from my 27.
I received this cross today wich looks like the same variant cross back on page 3. It is definately cross-hatched like the others, and has the hump on the frame, and also scrunched beading at 3:00 near the swasi. Also the same brass ring. The core on this one is non-magnetic, and is made of either white metal or feinzinc.
