The inner corners of the beading look too pointed to be a Wiedmann IMO

[Robert P.]

Thank you. I'll see if anyone else replies.

Hi robert,

not a Wiedmann...Catch isn't on a plate, and the ' 3 ' in the date is very different.

Interesting ek though......

Best regards,
Ben

[Robert P.]

Thanks Ben,

I had doubts too. It just didn't match up to my SB. Oh well, I had to ask for help. Thanks you both.

It's an unknown maker.
This hinge and pin system was used on "rounded 3" EK's, too.

Thanks Daniel,

I knew you would know something about it. One more mystery to solve.

Daniel,

Do you know who the makers were of the 'round 3' EKI's with the same pin assembly?

[grueni1208]

I beliebe one of the possible maker's was Deumer.

Here is a pic of a 1914 EK I (TR) with (IMO) a Deumer frame.
But I'm not sure, because Deumer normally used for his 1914 EK's the old Schinkel design.

Another maker could be Juncker.

[Robert P.]

Thank you Daniel,

Yes, that does have the catch of the early Deumer, the flat wire. I have a piece here, maker unknown to me, with the similar hinge...circa @1920-1925...

That's quite a rare cross Daniel,

I like the pin assebly on this cross, overall everything - the Juncker.

[Robert P.]

That cross montage I posted, I always gave thought to it being a Meybauer. Any thoughts?

I'm not sure but I think Meybauer used for his 1914 EK's the distinctive Meybauer pin like on the '39 versions, too.
