Hey there guys got this cross identified in another thread that I started here(Couple if Crosses for Review). This was the only item that I had any doubt about in the lot that I picked up. Then (Streptile/Trevor) said "The EK1 is a Souval with a replaced pin. It could have been made any time between 1939 and 1989 -- for me, it's hard to say without the original pin attached to the back, as this is one of the (imperfect) ways we have of determining period of manufacture. I would like to some more thought and opinions on this cross. I would believe that it would be of pre 1945 manufacture. The Vet that Got this lot from said he was part of the occupation force and came home in the spring of 46. I read the article on the Souval crosses and it has the little features that's talked about. I look forward to your responses. If you need more pics let me know.
