    Need opinions on four EKII's

    Ok, I have three EKII's that I could use a review of. Hopefully the pictures I took will work, but let me know if others are needed (I used the same angles as I did for my EKI's that were reviewed, so be nice please )



    EKII #1 Pic1 - Nice ribbon. No glow in blacklight.

                    Personally, I like them! Nice crosses! The first one has also the characteristical veins to the back that can be seen in some examples (I like when they have those veins, they seem to be alive ). The patina is beautiful too. The last one has the typical Austrian trifold ribbon. Nice babies!

                      You might get more response when you post a frontal shot of both obverse and reverse.

                      Artistic pictures are great, but not when you would like to have your crosses authenticated or if you are trying to find the maker.

                      Best regards,

                      Ben

                        Thanks everyone!
                        Ben, you're right. I had those taken because the crosses would catch the light better facing that direction. A lot of my "head on" shots seemed to make the core too dark. I'll try to get some for everyone.

                          Ken,
                          What makes you say that the last one has a repro mount? It looks like a perfectly good Austrian/trifold mount to me?

                            Adrian,
                            The ribbons glows like Times Square at dark with a blacklight. It surprised me when it happend because the ribbon "looked" great.

                              Interesting, the ribbon looks good from the pics. Don't be too quick to discount it though, it may have been cleaned, washed or been in contact with things that may cause it to glow.
