Ek 2 question

[waffendude]

Have a few concerns about this Ek, The ribbon bar ring is
unsoldered, maybe replaced? And in the 1st pic the beading at
10 o'clock position looks odd, owner said it's just the pic. Frame
is 2 piece, core rattles and is MAGnetic
Would like some ideas on this one... good... bad?
these are the best pics I have
thanks

Well, in my opinion cross is ok, original.
Rings were not always soldered, IMO it 's good.
Beading in that point seems a bit damaged but pic is not clear.
Date let me think that could be a Wiedmann.

I agree (as usual) with Fabrizio.

Cross came in today, beading does have a little damage
What's up with the "shaved off" corners, is that attributed
to a certain maker or??
overall it looks like a nice cross
thanks
