Hello
it 's not a variante. About manufacturer I think it 's an unmarked 24 but you don't make artistical pics to id the cross but good front and back views.

Not actually trying to I'd the cross per maker.

Simply trying to establish if it is a wideframe variant or even non variant if you like.

I hoped the shots would help a little better if angled to try and show the frame a little more.

Thank you.

To ID a commen EK or "just to" see if it is a wide frame or variant, I would recommend to use only straight front and back Pictures. Maybe some good close ups of some of the areas you think might be of interest.

The angled Photos (which looks good) can "hide" a lot af details needed to positive ID a Cross/Medal.

Please post a good pic of the front and reverse.
I am not really good with ek2, but IMO the core shows a lot of wear, while the frame is still minty..

There are very good copies out there, and based on these pictures I wouldn't buy
the ek....

Best regards,
Ben

No worries.

I will post a couple more shots in a little while.


Thank you

A little late by the time I am home, so no natural light. Please excuse the bad yellowish tone to the pics.

Core paint is not one the best attributes of this particular cross. I am still unsure of it's qualification as a 'wideframe', but as mentioned measures at 45mm






Thank you

I'm still not to keen on the shiny frame combinated with the worn core.
Hard to tell from the pic, but is the core magnetic?
(It looks a bit yellow on the worn spots, but that might be the lightning (or the pic)...

Is just a product of poor lighting I'm afraid. I wait for some sunshine at least so I can get the best shot outdoors.
The bad light gives the impression that the cross is a lot shiner than it actually is. I try to stay away from using flash, whole thing looks even worse. Like a lady with no makeup on. Sorry

Ben, core has a matt paint that is common on 24 EKIIs in my opinion it 's not worn.
Certainly not common is the shiny frame but depends, maybe is polished.
