Looks like a K&Q. But you'll have to get some opinions from guys who know what they're doing.

Hi Mike,Originally posted by Mike Dunn View Post
'55' is a maker number, assigned by a central office intended to oversee quality control and other administrative functions. It's a Third Reich thing only. In the case of '55,' the maker is J.E. Hammer & Söhne (or maybe Sohn) from Geringswalde. Their crosses are generally some of the worst made and, in many folks' opinion, the ugliest, although early (unmarked) examples can be quite nice.Best regards,
