EKII Opinions Please....

[John Bart]

Hi All,
Please take a look at this cross. Observations/opinions would be well
appreciated. The ring is hallmarked "93." (I tried like hell to get a good close up of the hallmark but my camera just can't cut it).
Thanks................ John

Closer in...

Close up of ring, sorry for the quality. I had to use a magnifying glass to read it.

Here's mine.

I think the rims are the same, but the numbers look a little different (mine are flatter). What do you think?

Hi again George,
Thanks for your fast response. Nice looking cross! Yes the rims look to be identical. Your "93" does seem a little different. Notice the "9" on mine has a pronounced slant to it. Who manufactured these?
Thanks............ John

[George Stimson]

Maybe yours is slanted because it was struck closer to the inside of the ring.
Manufacturer: Richard Simm und Sohn, from Gablonz.

Hi George,
Thanks for that info! Could you direct me to a manufacturer's cross reference
numbers list for cross manufacturers? Isn't there something here on the forum?
Thanks,
...........
