I don't have Zimmermann EK-2, but here is the date on double marked EK-1, ...looks very similar, ...any one have Zimmerman EK-2?
Something else to note about the cores, all '39 cores EK,RK and '39GC are die struck, but 1914GC core is cast iron, which is an earlier technology and most likely was done before the institution of '39 awards.Attached Files

I was dubious when I first saw high end stuff coming out of this horde
but I believe it now. It seems much more likely that high end, and unfinished stuff, were 'left behind' together, forgotten, in boxes or whatever
Barry told me he bought about 80pounds worth of this Zimmermann 'rubble', and most of it was unrecognizable. And yes, it was at the site of the Zimmermann factory apparantly...

Marshall> Have pics of a 20 marked EKII on file and it looks like a match to the "EKI" core
I never had a problem with the concept of the Zimmerman horde either - the recently surfaced rusted RK's were undeniably Zimmerman - but throw a few 1939 Grand Crosses, an exceptionally rare Prinzen EK2 and - unbeleivably - now a 1914 Grand Cross into the mix and I think one could be forgiven for raising an eyebrow.
As far as I'm concerned though, the find is still entirely credible.
