Marked S&L EK1

[locloc08]

How common or rare is this maker for EK1s? Here's mine.

Common.

Common.

Thanks. I know crosses by S&L were also produced after the war for a time. Do you think mine is a wartime example or produced after. How can you tell?

How common or rare is this maker for EK1s? What would be the average asking price of an EK1 by this maker? Thanks for the help.

Fairly common and price/value would depend on condition as value is usually determined by the condition rather than the maker IMO.

Good to excellent condition is about $300.00 give or take.

I suggest checking e-stand for similar crosses, though, and see what people are paying for them because it's only really worth what someone is willing to pay.

Didn't see the pics when I first posted, but it looks like a nice cross
you have there, a bit scatched up, but nice.
Welcome to the forum too.

locloc, Your cross does not have the most common pin and hinge block usually associated with S&L crosses.

As for wartime or post I can't say? There are members here that have studied this pin and hinge set up that can pass judgement on it though!

Nice cross! I am interested in learning about Your peice also!

Best Regards!

This was discussed somewhat recently HERE, although I'm not sure there was any definitive conclusion.
