Is this a Fake EK2?

[Airborne Nut]

Ok, now I have not seen one like this before so I figured I'd ask. The Guy that sent me this is scanning the fron and I should have pics when I get home. The shape looks all wrong to me. Does this look like a real period EK2?

So far it looks like a Souval cross. Original in my opinion.

Here is a second cross (not the same cross as in the post above) from the same weller. I cant quite tell what is going on with the ring attachment any comments until I can get clearer pics?

I know little about them but I was thinking schinkel? Becasue of the extreme non-curvature in the arms. Any thoughts?

The first one looks more like a Meybauer to me . . . original of course. I'm not sure on the second example.

[Peter Wiking]

You are right mott5ranch. Could well be a Meybauer.

Was it the rounded inned edges of the beading that makes you thing that?

Shane...

It's not a schinkel...A or B.

'B' types have round '3's

Yes.
The inner corners being round, and the outer corners "clutching" is Souval or Meybauer. We still need the front i think to be sure.
