What maker could be behind this cross? Or the second cross?

From the front both appear to be by Meybauer, obviously. Let's see the reverse.

Hi Trevor,

that was very fast!

I would say it is a world record And you are 100% right ;-)

Let me show you an other picture of the obverse ;-) Hope you can feel the picture of the Reverse ;-)

Pretty uncommon, but these can be found.
Meybauer with cross-shaped back-plate and DGM nut.
They also come as Schinkels with the same set-up...
Nice cross, btw...

I agree with Ben about the reverse. These are very nice and very uncommon.

Actually I saw one for sale at MAX. I didn't buy it, but I got the guy's name and email, so maybe I will write him. The problem is, he wanted $900. I don't think they are worth quite so much, are they? It's about €700.

Anyway, nice crosses Stefan, and nice photos. Let's see the full reverses

Crisp details and gorgeous patina one of the nicest EK I have seen!!

[ben bijker]

@Stefan: they are rare.
I had one, sold it because I could upgrade, and now I see this one which makes a total of 3.

One of the nicest set-ups IMO.
Now you'll have to find the Schinkel with this set-up , a new challenge!

Hi Ben ;-)

yes, you are right. I'm looking for a nice Schinkel PM D.R.G.M. The picture you see is from reverse of an PM, but it was with a Deumer Core! The obverse is a picture of a PM Pinback. I had never the right Screwback combination of the obverse and the reverse in my Hand. The pictures is only for me to find the right Schinkel combination!

Hi Stefan,

The cross you show did not have a Deumer core; it had a fake core.

Your Meybauer Schinkel is very nice, by the way

Hi Trevor,

yes you are right it was 2009, when I bought the wrong Schinkel combination!

Now, I can remember on that cross!
This was my first Schinkel EK1!
I needed two month to return this cross!
But at least I had a happy end in getting my money back

[streptile]

Yes, that's it. I still remember that cross because it was one of the best fakes I have ever seen. Nice comparison photo there.
