So here is my dillema -
I have recently purchaced two shinkleform EK's - now I have an extensive collection of WW1 EK 2's and have read on numerous occasions that the "Shinkleform" EK's of WW2 were made from left over stocks of WW1 frames - how then do most all of the Shinkleform EK's that one comes across have a distinctly different frame than my WW1 EK's - I have chaecked my SHinkleforms against Detlevs and other known examples and all have the narrow arms that taper suddenly and for a long distance towards the center. Is it the fact that these are a variation of early EK's that were produced in the 1939-40 period and in fact were not made from WW1 frames. Also - would these crosses ever be marked on the rings? I have one that is marked '65'. Just some thoughts. I can post pictures if necessary
Thanks
