Well-worn one-piece ek1

[ben bijker]

Beat-up 1-piece ek.
The screw has been soldered inside the disc, and a primitive anti-rotation "pin" (or blob) has been added.
It MAY have been re-painted, but the originals have the same glossy paint and the sloppy paint-job.


Still a nice cross with a lot of character IMO

Nice cross Ben, yes the paint are similar to the early crosses... Do you know the maker?

It's a nice one indeed !
I don't have proof, but I still think these were made by Deschler...

Stefan, it is hard to say if it is a re-paint.
The glossy paint looks the same as on my other crosses, but there is a lot of paint on the ribbing.
Which i, on the other hand, not really unusual either...
Odd one.....

[ben bijker]

Yeah!

Anthony, it still has the swas !!

Off to bed in a min.....

look carefully in each corner for paintloss and another paint underneath.
The paint job is REALLY sloppy.
One may wonder what that depends on.

Well, it gets plenty of points for being a veteran!
