Have I done it?

Here it is, Luud, the Zimmermann (supposed)...

I need to check with my EK1's tomorrow,too dark now and I never made pictures of them.
But it looks very promissing, also a very nice condition !!!!

Luud,

The one thing that really impressed me was the narrow crowns of each bead. To me it spelled out - a new set of dies/very little use. Could the factory have burned down before they really had a chance for much EKII production? Or possibly they never had a long-lasting contract with the EKII's.

I noticed that also. But the design is VERY close.
I never saw a marked version, and I didn't see these either. Not hard, because I neverlook at unmaked ek's, but if they didn't make them long, it explains the clean strike.

I never saw or noticed that big bulb at the 3 o'clock (upper arm in the corner) on a Zimmerman.

Sadly It is really dark here.
This is the best I can see on a Zimmerman:

Yeah, that flaw is puzzling to me too. But, we're not dealing with the same dies as the EKI. The bead count per arm is higher on the EKI than this EKII. I'm really hoping to see an identical core come from eMedals.

Nope, but the design of the frame is the only thing that can relate it to a Zimmerman at this moment.
Maybe more information will show upin the future. But very interesting ek2.

I suppose...I was very surprised when some of the senior collectors starting going on about it being a Zimmermann. I said, "OK". - I don't know. If you look at the very inside corners adjacent the swasi, all four, the single bead is missing from each corner, the bead that faces inward to the swasi. If this bead were there the frame would resemble the EKI very much. Like I say, the core from eMedals will be most revealing. I'm really hoping it matches. We'll at least be that much closer to a positive ID. Thanks, Luud.

Now I get it with the Zimmerman. It should come out of the burnt lot!
This can get interesting. I am BTW still not sure if I believe that story.
Too many oddities. But in time we will find the truth!

[Robert P.]

I have high hopes. This evidence would be helpful, and would put Adrian back on the prowl for the last EKII of his 'complete' set.

I hope it won't be....so we can still have some fun while he is still deperatly seeking.
Just give him a heart attack When I photoshop with an EK1 or something like that

But I really want to see pictures of that cross, ASAP!

[Robert P.]

Yeah, right now he's got bragging rights. But when this EKII gets proven he'll just be another lowly collector like us again. I hope you're reading this, Adrian. If it's the real deal, you may want to swap me for those two I need to complete my set.

ha ha...he is here already, but he is very quit.
I think he is mad that we are ruining his thread

[Robert P.]

Yeah, you're right, Luud. Sorry, Adrian. All in fun. I'll get back on the theme of YOUR thread. What was the theme, Luud???

I gotta run...

Ehhh....aaahhhhhhh...??????
Was it about him playing on the Internet to keepawake and get payed for it?

[Robert P.]

Hey, he's got a good job if he can do that.
