    My new EK2 - maker?

    Hello everyone,

    I just received this EK2 from a WAF member today. It is unmarked. Any idea which company made this one? Thanks in advance for any info!

            Looks a little 76-ish (E. L. Müller).. If you compare inner and outer corners, long trunks on the 1 etc (but the top part of the 3 might be wrong, slanted/not slanted)..

              Friedrich,

              Thanks for the reply! I looked at the 76 photos in the list, and it does look like it might be a 76. Another feature my cross shares with the 76 is the downward slant of the top of the 3, both in 1939 as 1813. Of course, several other makers have the same slanted 3s, but the 76 is the first one I looked at that seems to match most closely.

              Hopefully other members will chime in as well.

                All '76' marked EK2s I've seen have S&L type frames so unless the EK is marked to a specific maker there's no telling who might have made it, it could have been one of several manufacturers who used this type of frame.

                  Adrian,

                  Thanks for the reply. When I took it out of its mailing envelope, my first impression was that it looked a lot like an S&L, but the core wasn't the same.

                    I would go with a S&L Type as well , they used more than one frame and core .
                    It has the inside top right corner bead flaw .

                      Douglas,

                      I was hoping you'd respond - you nearly always seem to have that little extra piece of info which solidifies a positive ID. Thanks!

                      My semi-novice eye can see no difference between any of the inside corners. What specifically is the "inside top right corner bead flaw"?

                            That's how i called 76.. Do the 76's have different kind of S&L frames or only this one? Is the core on this cross a match with the 76 core?

                              Here is a pic I put together for another thread. All are marked '76' and you will see they all have certain features that match the cross jt327gir has shown, the example showing the flaw Douglas has provided and which also match S&L marked crosses. It is difficult to nail an unmarked cross with an S&L type frame down to a specific maker.
