I have had this EK2 in my collection for over 4 years and I have sometimes had my suspicions about it. I purchased it from a dealer with a good name but it is unlike any EK2 I have seen in regards to finish and the small attachment loop at the top. I know very little about EK's and would value other opinions. Thanks

In my opinion it 's a nice cross, original and hand frosted.Comment

Thanks guys for all your help. Yes the core is magnetic. I think its the frosted finish that put me off a bit. As I said, I am not at all experienced with these items. Thanks again.Comment

Compaired frame and core to ones I have - I would have to say a S&L frame and core . Do not know if Orth obtained any parts from S&L .

That's a beautiful cross, congrats!Comment

The paint, the swastika and the frame are really reminds me for this unknown maker possibly Moritz Hausch cross, can Lemm's cross from the same maker just later variant?Comment
-
Not the same cross Hans ..... the corner dense bead count rules that out .

Hans - Robert Pierce had one just like yours and I thought it was something like a CF Zimmermann ??

Hello Douglas,Originally posted by Douglas 5 View Post
several cross had beeen found with Moritz Hausch packet earlier, so I think thats the correct maker of that cross. It is also a Pforzheim maker by the way.Comment

Well Hans .... I still cannot see where these would be a variation of each other ? 2 different working dies here all together .... but lets see what others think .
