Thanks Mike
Have a question please,does the Maker marked 6s have a dot befoe the 6? And how do you know its a 6 and not a 9 .Jay

Nice group Jay, I don't see any problems with anything there. The EK1 looks like a decent example of a Fritz Zimmermann and the EK2 from K&Q.

[Hank C.]

Yes, nice "6." marked Zimmerman! Great grouping Jay.

best

Thanks Hank>> Hank do you remember this grouping??

Yep, sure do! One of many that have passed through....

I believe the dot was put there to indicate the mark to be 6 not 9. Also, there is no maker 9 for EKs. Also keep in mind there are two makers with the name Zimmerman. There is this one, Fritz Zimmerman of Stuttgart, maker 6, and also C.F. Zimmerman of Pforzheim, maker 20.

Thanks Steve!!

That is a really nice group Jay! Consider yourself lucky to have a F. Zimmermann with such a nice core! Many are rusty and poor condition!
