'6' marked Zimmerman --> Opinions please

[streptile]

Hello,

A quick forum search turned up no similar '6' marks for Fritz Zimmerman. While the period (full-stop) is here after the '6', the orientation of the number and type-face do not match examples I have seen, including many in this thread. However, it seems this one has a good Zimmerman frame and an S+L-type core, which, I think, was not unknown for this maker.







I thought about buying this cross, but now I'm skittish. What do you all think?

Thanks in advance,

So, not good? Or good? I can't quite discern your tone

Hello,
cross is good but infortunately hallmark 6. is not good...
The right stamp is transversal on ring.

I really appreciate the replies in-thread and in PM. I will steer clear of this one.

Are we sure that the cross is even good? Coming from the "Hero" makes me wonder...

No, I 'm not sure. You 're right is better to see details to discover it.
In the true, now I remember to have seen an EKII frosted with the same ring and that exemplar was a 100% fake..

It's always good to compare it to an original...
