EK1 for opinions

[TK6831]

I just purchased this EK1 this week. It is unmarked and I was wondering if anyone could help identify it. It has a slight vault to it, which I can't get a good photo of.










Thanks in advance for any help.

Not original.

Interesting cross. I would say a Souval, but with their postwar frame more usually seen on EK2s. Made c. 1950s? Definitely not wartime manufacture, but an interesting piece for the student of Souval's shenanigans.

What is the best thread on here to study the Souval variations?

Here you go, right from the top of this Cross section! http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=143349 All you need to know about this makers examples!
This cross is as said is not wartime produced, would be ok if purchased for next to nothing as stated to have another Souval shenanigan example! this frame matches none of the Wartime accepted Souval EKI examples let alone the pin!!!!

Great article on the Souval's and I read through the FLoch's while I was at it. It's getting more and more difficult to keep up with this stuff.
