Solid 1EK?

[meriksson]

Has any one here seen a solid 1EK made off silver 800?. I have one!
and i dont look like a post war or copy, it shows lots off weare.
Its markt at 3 places back side whit 800 and above that 3, and also the pin is
markt 3. Im 100 shure its 800 silver and not 3 part made, and its hevy for a EK.
Here is some pics off it, note my camera is messing whit me. The size off the EK
is 44,8 * 44,9 arm width 26,5 , thickness 3,2 mm . Note the brown stuff close to the rim is some dirt, not rust.

Swaz, date and beading indeed look like a Deumer. The pin however is strange (as is the 3 mark itself).

[meriksson]

Yes its like a Dumer even the size. My guess its a private bought EK as its from one pice off silver, and i belive its early made maybe 1939-40. Well its a nice one and rare i think. The first one pice striking ive seen in silver.

Meriksson,

Are you sure this is a one piece solid silver cross? The core looks pretty shocking with the pitting, indicating rust at some stage. Does a magnet stick to it?

Yes solid silver. There is no sems and both back side and the swaz test possitive
for silver. Its the paint jobb thats has getting to be a bit ruff, age i think.
And its not magnetic.

In that case, a very nice cross!

I have seen Imperial EK1's in one piece solid silver and the workmanship was superb. Without a doubt Jeweller quality workmanship. I went to purchase one a local dealer had sitting for months, and with my luck the day I went to get it, it had sold the week before.
The marking 3 is interesting as I have seen this on Imperial EK1's, NOT Third Reich period, and nobody seems to have an explaination for it.

Very nice.

Can you elaborate?

[meriksson]

The size is exactly as a 51 Polish. And i did find a nice close picture off a 51
and the rim match 100. It´s still some kind off silver but its s*hit. Hinge and pin also match.
