Hi Chay,

Here's the center of my EK2 with a stepped swas. I'll have to dig it out for the maker and scans of the full cross if you want them. I think they've been discussed in the past.

I picked this one out of my collection. Its a stone mint 13 marked cross with "stepping".

Cheers.

Hi Guys

If you look at the EK1 in the following thread you will see it has a stepped swastika. You will get a better image on page 2

The opinion of the members, it's a fake.

What's a stepped swastika? The ones with like too much paint?

[Mike Kenny]

Hi Giel,

The "stepped" swas refers to the recesses between the arms of the swas not being level with the arms of the cross (only referring to the core, not the frame/beading). The recesses between the arms of the cross are slightly raised above the level of the cross arms giving a "stepped" appearance.

You should just be able to see the "stepped" effect on the 4 o'clock and 7 o'clock recesses on the image I loaded above.
