The maker is easy and quick to determine : S&L .
The die variant is tricky on this one ... for now I would go with 3rd frame and 3rd core .

For any one starting off new ... you have alot of homework ahead of ya and studying to do . Baldy1939 has a nice one of these 3rd frames S&Ls on Estand right now and I borrowed one of his pictures to show one of the features of a S&L frame . S&L did sell frame parts to other (mainly high mm number manufacturers) , so these types of frames can be found with other maker marked rings .

It sure looks like a Steinhauer & Lück to me.

Welcome to "the disease", by the way. Once you get your first EK, you'll want more. Eventually, it becomes like the disease of alcoholism - the only cure is to buy more EKs, and also to find new and creative ways to display your collection.
