          Brass core EK1

          Here is a photo showing this new unmarked cross (on the right) together with my L/19, also a brass core.
          The unmarked one is larger. 26mm wide arms but only 43mm across. The L/19 is 44mm across with 25mm arms.

              EK1 brass

              Should I be concerned about the case construction? This piece of wood does not look very old.. . The lining material does not glow under blacklight. I would value your comments on this case...and on the cross manufacturer also pleaaaaaaaaaase

                  Friedrich Orth was known for his brass core crosses. I'm afraid that's just a suggestion, not an expert opinion, sorry!

                    Maker

                    Here's my guess -

                    Looking at the wide flanges, pin, hinge, and catch construction I'd guess the maker was Wachtler and Lange (L/55, or 100) although I haven't encountered a brass centered EKI from them before. Did you look under the pin for any marks? Not sure about your case, though.

                          It's marked under the catch, instead of on the underside of the pin (which is usual for Wachtler & Lange).

                            Thank you all, looks like it, doesn't it? George, does the swaz sit very high on your cross?
