Slightly bent EK1 ?

[Ostbat]

Sirs,
Little bit bent EK1 (1939) is an early variant of the manufacturer?
If it so during what time it was made?
Thank.

Hi do you mean valted? If so some were done by the maker and some were done by the owner of the award. I don't know for sure but most of the ones made by the factory were early also it seems like alot of screw back Eks were valted. I'm sure some one can be more help than me.

Many thanks, David.
I have a little learned about this variant EK1: it was made till May 1941. It so? Here this cross:

On it there is no brand of the manufacturer. Earlier similar crosses came across me only with the screw.

Hi Ostbat,
The cross you show is a Zimmermann/Godet piece noticable by the date/pin/beading details and the thinner rims on the outer arms. It is probably a standard cross that has been slightly bent by the original owner. I have one exactly the same in my collection and it is one of my favourites as the detail and quality to these pieces is superb. Nice cross!

Regards,
Brett

One more question: how bent such crosses?
Thank.
