EK2s '21', '22', and '75'

[streptile]

Some EK2s for you approval. The photos of the marks were too poor to post, but the marks are standard for the crosses anyway.

Marked '21' for Godet:





Marked '22' for Boerger & Co.:





Marked '75':





I believe this maker could be Franz Breuning/Pforzheim or Franke & Co./Lüdenscheid, but of course it's unknown.

Approval?

I approve. I totally approve.

[Robert P.]

Those are nice examples, Trevor, as usual.

Thanks Robert and George.

The reason these are posted together is rather vague, I know. However, there is a reason... Apart from my Junckers, variants (R-3, Schinkel, etc.), and a couple for which no known packets exist (122, 137), these are my only 1939 EK2s without Packets. So they occupy a sort of "homeless shelter" within the collection... cold in these winter nights.

The poor things!

[streptile]

The poor things!

Yes, that's how I feel. So if anyone has a Godet and a Boerger Packet, please... don't make these poor fellas huddle together for warmth. PM me!

I 've just a K&Q packet if you want..
Coming back serious, I 've never seen a Juncker packet, really strange because his crosses are not so rare.. but I hope you 'll got it so I can see it !!
Very nice crosses indeed Trevor !!

Hi Trevor, What a impressive Iron Cross collection you assembled over years! I saw your Juncker EKs in previous thread that you already posted. You adds more EKs to your growing EK collection. I especially like those mint EK2s you just got! Thanks,James

Thank you, guys.

As for the marks: they are bog-standard for the makers, but my photos are too poor to post. My girlfriend got a nice new camera for Christmas, so as soon as I learn how to use it, I'll snap some.

Incidentally (as far as I know), 122 J.J. Stahl and 137 J.H. Werner are the only (non-controversial) marked EK2s for which no correspondingly marked packets have ever been found. One should in theory be able to pair any other marked EK2 with a maker-stamped packet.

Very nice and 3 not easy to find makers.
