EK2 Spange L/12 Juncker made From Zinc - How Uncommon Are They?

Jeff, check out the mm carefully.
In the last pic your clasp looks like an L/13.

It is definitely not the same as Weitze's or the other examples posted here.

L/13 is often misread.

Hi Ben - I looked under a loupe, it is possible it's an "L/13". Part of the bottom portion "3" is not visible like it was poorly executed

Like I said, this did come straight from the Vet family to me, so I was sure it was good.

Jeff, I think it is a good one.
I did compare it to the one I have here, and they are very similar.

Most likely the mm-stamp was damaged somewhere down the line.
I have seen a number of ek1 with this mark, the lower part of the "3" missing.
Very often these crosses re offered as L/12

Thanks Ben - Here is better photo of the back from a different angle, it almost looks like you can see the bottom of the "3". But if you wanted to, you could make it into a "2".

That's it Jeff!


Congrats on a nice original L/13!!

best regards,
