Hi, this, I think, looks a bit like my EK2

I could be wrong, but what do you think?

This is a style of EK2 I have always wondered about. I think I started a thread about this type (unmarked) some time ago, and no one knew the maker. I think it's a very nice design -- one of the nicest unmarked EK2s I've seen. I've never seen one of these marked.

So it's one of those small mysteries, like the "5" EK2. Is it really a good period mark? Or is it postwar? As with the "5" I think this one is a risk at this point. But if I were offered it, I would buy it, knowing the risk.

One question I would ask the guys in the Cases & Packets forum (Thomas H, Allan Pilch, and Marcus Hatton) is whether they have ever seen an EK2 Packet stamped for Ferdinand Hoffstadter Bonn a. Rhein .

Thank you guys for your help. So I buy this one, I will take a risk.

By the way, do you know when Ferdinand Hoffstadter Bonn a. Rhein comapny was bombed and stopped production ?

Also I ask some guy from packets forum to help about any information about envelope for this EK.

so cross is almost on the way, meanwhile I would like to ask again, if there is anyone more with this marked cross.

I remember a few of these 8 marked crosses appeared on Philipp Militaria
site about two or three years ago. I was going to buy one but did,nt
have much confidence in them
