Another parade mount EK2 for the collection

[Bernie Brule]

Just got this one. Is the maker identifiable?

Possibly Meybauer #7 still learning the cores so I may be way off.
Trevor what say you?

Holy crap someone agrees with me. I was actually right for once.
I guess I must be learning something here.

Bernie,

Another great EK2 mount! I am looking for a 1939 version myself...but only seem to end up with 1914 single mounts!

Why is it not a Meybauer EK2?
I do not understand. This year is the same as Meybauer.
How do you recognize it?

Hi Johnny,

You have asked a very good question. Maker 23 often used Meybauer cores (as this one) so the only
way to tell the difference between a 23 and a 7 is the frame.

Here below you see a maker 7 EK1 and a maker 23 EK2, both with Meybauer cores.

You can see that the shape of the frame is entirely different. The Meybauer frame looks like an S&L
shape, and the 23 looks like a Deumer shape.

This is the best way to differentiate between a 7 and a 23.

@streptile
Great execution of 7 and 23
I understand what is different the shape of the frame
Practice makes perfect
