EK1 - Thin Needle

[kuhny]

this is a reply from the same post in another forum:


"it 's a well known cross but the manufacturer is still unknown, some experts think that it could be an early Deschler. "

@william: nick is a bit confused by the souval-like " birdfeet" in the outer frame corners.

I believe these one-piece crosses are from Deschler.
The similarity is very big, the swas, numbers of the date, weight and the wide frame ...
(It's not the same because these are one-piece, but they are heavy)

@ kuhny: here are some more, here you can see that your ek has the same hardware which is original to the cross.

one more with a thick pin

Thanks ben, the pictures really helped me out.....are they your crosses?

[ben bijker]

That's good to hear, kuhny.
Yes, these crosses are from my collection.

Too much honor, marvin, I'm learning new things almost every day as well, and I am just passing it on.
But thanks for the compliment!
