A little game of "Name that Maker" or... Who was responsible for this?

[WEISNER]

Greetings gang! A bit slow here in the cross section so I thought I would post an EKI for ID, First up I will show three shots of the obverse and see what You members think?
A hint in that the cross is early as will be seen in the reverse shots, I am not 100% on a maker and have ideas however am very interested in Your thoughts!
Thanks for any opinions!

Kev, I will take a stab, early W&L (I have an EKII). Jim

[WEISNER]

Thanks for the reply Jim, The cross does have some arm crosshatching as found on W&L pieces. As I stated all opinions welcome and I am most interested in members opinions with only the obverse shot shown at this time.

Hi Kevin
in my opinion could be an unmarked Wiedmann.

[Robert P.]

I believe Fabri has nailed it!

Thanks for the replys Fellas! I will post the reverse photos tonight when home from work.
Best Regards!

Here is the reverse as promised, A bit different than the Wiedmann's that I have seen while searching the forum.
The core appears to be soldered only on the arm corners, the catch is different than all I have seen.
What do You think? I was interested in Your thoughts when viewing the obverse only as I have heard a few different makers when asking for opinions.
Thanks again for Your replys and further opinions are most welcome!
Best Regards!

And the catch. notice the scribe line for catch alignment!

-So... Does anybody see typical S&L style bead corner set up with every corner having one slightly crossed bead?
-Open sides and only corners soldered? Somthing Godet did Early.
-Catch with mounting positioning line=an early Godet manufacturing step?
-In 1939 11 makers were licenced, Imperial transitional style pin on this cross means early production, With six old timers still using early pin stock being Juncker, W&L, K&Q, Maybauer, Godet and S&L. These are all the makers of Spanish Crosses!

Thank's Douglas for Giving Me ALL this info I have posted here! I appreciate all Your Help or thoughts on this cross and also the Juncker EKII!!!! And Doug never pinned a maker, only pointed out some observations!

Looking forward to any further discussion or thoughts on the maker!

Robert Pierce has an identical Wiedemann, who I believe is your maker.
