the marking is not so easy to make out

EK2 24

and here is a comparison of this 24 which has a wide frame with a normal sized cross (on the right). All I need now is a ribbon for the 24 and that is on its way to me.

Terry,
Nice! I've always liked the 24 EKs because of the wide frame, and because I used to live in Hanau!

Check the small ribbon ring for the "acorn" mark often found on these "24" EKs.

[gaz]

[George Stimson]

Here's another mark on the small ring of another "24."

'24' Ekii

That's great. I just got a '24' myself. Being new to EK's, the wide edge and the very matt black centrepiece finish made me wonder if it was a fake. The number on mine looks very similar indeed, and is also missing part of the numeral shape. In fact, I thought it read '74' at first.

Cool to see another one in such detail here.

Are all the 24s pretty sure to be wartime crosses, or have there been examples known to be struck after the war as well?

[George Stimson]

I've never heard of a "24" EK 2 that was struck post-war.

That's good to hear! Thanks.
