Hi Maurice,

Sorry, but it's a regular Souval EK2 not an übergröße.

The size variation is not unusual, but an übergröße is noticably bigger.
Here's a picture showing one with a 'regular' size '65' and a schinkel-form one piece.

Regards - Danny

Souval frame, not an ubergrosse I'm afraid.

It's definitely not an Ubergrosse, but is that a dipping 3 I see there? (Most obvious in post #3)
Can you post a straight on, close up of the front date please?

Maurice, That is a nice Souval cross You have, A stand out maker for the distinctive frame beading and Swastika.
Danny has done a wonderful job in showing You the true size difference between an übergröße and standard cross, with a Schinkel thrown in for good measure! However there are also wideframe crosses that fall in between übergröße crosses and standard frame examples.
That is a nice Souval.... and now You could use a souval marked packet to complete the display! These Souval marked packets are common, and a little searching may find You a decent one to match the excellent condition of the cross.

Edit, Also distinctive is the un soldered jump ring on the reverse side of the frame.

This cross is a typical Souval as just sayd, in post # 2 we can see also that on the reverse ring is not soldered
