An oldtime favorite of many collectors this cross comes unmarked, but we all know the maker...

Very good Douglas,
You've always known your S&L's.

You happen to know the weight of yours ?
And may I post a rare version of this Zimmermann EK2 here ?
DouglasComment

I'll take a break from the TV and get my weigh scale out for business. By all means post anything you like here, Douglas.

First the 2 Fritz Zimmermann cores , the most common as in the one you posted and the less common thin date core type . The common core is a S&L core , which also indicates that Fritz Zimmermann obtained this from S&L . The thin core could be their own or from another source - anyones guess .
I do not have the regular FZ EK2 - just the thin date and one you had at one time . Note the strange balls in the thin date on the right one - are like small paint dots .

The thin date version's reverse date may match up with the reverse date of the original cross I posted above. I'll search the archives for a sample of the thin date version's reverse date to post here...unless you already have one to post...?

Have the reverse of the thin date .
DouglasComment

I do too. On top is the thin date version, on the bottom my standard F. Zimmermann date...
I see some differences, although both are thin; the nose on the second '1', and the bottom ball on the '3'.

The thin Date : Both reverse are a dead match - use the reverse die plates .... even though the front have 2 different dies .
