Cased EK1 & Packeted EK2 new arrivals :)

[evilmike]

Recieved these this morning from Klaus Butschek...

Cased EK1 Non Magnetic core, unmarked, slight vaulting. i need to try and find what maker this is now

[evilmike]

EK2 unmarked, the patina makes this beauty almost black, its abit of a stunner. Came with a K&Q packet, which matches the cross comparing it to another mm65... anyone confirm that?








Thanks for your opinions!
Mike

Nice additions Mike and yes, the packet and EK2 do belong together.

[Anthony N]

Nice crosses Mike, particulary like the EKI (but don't know the maker).
It's like a never ending quest!

[evilmike]

yes like a quest for a dkig... well thats one less competitor??

The EK1 has some pretty striking die flaws, which i imagine should be pretty obvious there just not ones iam familar with yet.....

Thanks Adrian & Ant!

right i either crash and burn or perform a miracle....

unmarked L 54?

[Robert P.]

I believe your EKI is an early brass-cored S&L.

[Steve Campbell]

I too think it is a #4 S&L.

[Steinar]

The ek2 really is a super cross with a clean perfect core.

[Nigel N]

[evilmike]

Thanks Guys, guess i crashed and burned on the ek1 id... bugger

did S&L use different frames/cores?

Cheers Nigel, moment of weakness when Kaus updated his webby

Very nice pieces Mike, and I think S&L used quite a few different frames and cores over the manufacturing time span of these TR pieces!

Hi Mike :
Had a good look at it . I can confirm it is a S&L with a re-worked 2nd frame with a bit worn true brass 2nd core that was hand vaulted .
Both nice crosses .
