Unmarked Iron Cross First Class - Maker?

[Calvin Hall]

I recently acquired this somewhat salty EK1 'out of the woodwork'.

My initial thought was that this was a unmarked K&Q. Howver, the core does not seem to conform to what I have come to expect from K&Q.

Any thoughts on the maker would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

To me a textbook K&Q with their nicest, earliest core.

K and Q...one of my three personal favorites.
