            Could the first one be a 6 Fritz Zimmermann?

              No, I think S&L, but a very nice early one. Can you do a CU of the date?

                Crosses

                An S&L and a Souval. Both good.

                  Isn't this a S&l 2nd frame feature?

                    According to whom? I am skeptical of an arbitrary sequencing of frames and cores without some kind of evidence. To me, everything about this cross says "early." Unmarked, good quality, swollen pin, crisp frame and core strikes. If you have some evidence that this frame postdated another frame, I'm curious to see it. I am always happy to learn something new.

                      a couple of close ups of the first one (S&L) - stretches the limits of my old camera - any closer and it's just blurry so I hope these are good enough

                        That's a fair question. I find this frame feature on my '4'-marked S&L EKI. It has the stamped-out catch and coke-bottle style pin, as opposed to the earlier (1st pattern S&L) round wire catch and thinner W&L-looking pin. Here is a close up of the 1st pattern S&L beading which lacks this feature mentioned...

                          And, here is the '4'-marked S&L EKI's beading which shows clearly this feature mentioned above...
