Anyone tell me the maker of this cross?

Thanks,

Hi Wayne,

It's an unknown maker and a desirable cross in unfortunate condition. Some (especially on German forums) call it a "Schinkel-B shape" but I feel this is terribly misleading. It is not a prototype, in the way the Schinkel-B is, but rather just an unknown-maker EK2 with a rather unusual date design and somewhat minimal curvature to the arms.

Some have also speculated that it is a Juncker product, but I am certain that it is not. It has nothing in common with the Juncker design except some very superficial elements (jumpring lug, maybe some cross-hatching).

Thanks Trevor.

I saw it on a site and was thinking of buying it.

Although I'm not too keen about the rust on it.

Hi Wayne,

It's been on that site for a very long time indeed. They do come up for sale every now and then -- I myself am waiting to find one in better condition.
