Unmarked Ek2 Identification

Hi All,

can anyone identify the maker of this cross?

Thanks in advance ,

The last scans weren't too good... maybe with better daylight pictures?
Thanks again,

It has an S&L type frame so could be made by them or one of the manufacturers who also used the same frame for their EKs.

Thanks Adrian, is there a list of the manufacturers that used the S&L Core?
I read about the 9 o'clock die flaw of the S&L crosses, mine doesn't seem to have this. Is that a sign it is one from the others?

However the beading seems 'closed' at the 12 o'clock, underneath the ring. Is this from soldering?

Best wishes for 2009,

Regards,

Michel
