    numbers variation

    One interesting thing I've learned about these EKs is that on the numbers some crosses have "balls"on the bottoms of the "9s"and "3s" and some don't.

        schinkel info

        My Schinkelform EKII measures 44mm and has a non-magnetic core, is three piece, has no maker mark, and has remnants of frosting on the beading and arms. Also the core is rather "rough" under the blackened finish. Hope this helps!

          I thought the schinkle form was smaller in diameter than the regular EK2 i.e. tha same dimensions as the Imperial EK2. 44mm is the regular EK2 size is it not ?

          I have included a picture of a EK2 that I am unsure about in dimensions is this schinkle form or not ?

          The width is slightly smaller but the cross ends are noticeably smaller than other standard crosses.

          The ring is unusual having been bent into an oavl at some point.

          No makers mark.

          Thanks

              I'd have to say your EK2 doesn't look like a schinkle form EK2, yet the dimensions suggest that it is...weird!

              As for the ribbon loop, who knows!? Maybe it was originally court mounted and the ring was bent to fit better? I've not seen this before so am only speculating.

                I agree with Rich. While the measurements of this EK might not conform to those of a standard piece, it does not look like a "Schinkel."
