I have news !
today morning the packet arrived from Germany and contained this set :
a packet marked Paul Kuest - Berlin, ribbon, a cross brother of that one showed by Trevor, mine is unmarked on ring.
Now, some considerations are needed and I write mine :
- packet is something rare, cross is something very hard to find / quite rare or so, it 's fact.
- how many possibilities someone put them together ? if both are so "rare" I
would say very very but very low, this doesn't build a certainty but a strong indication. Conditions of cross and packet let me think they are compatible, packet and cross are surely early. Also I am trying to know if the set comes from the family.
- this frame type, that IMO come from Kuest dies, can contain as we have seen in
this thread 4 different dates, one of them well known because already seen in
some Junckers. What means? I see a couple of possibilities.
1 - that is a Kuest date, this maker stopped the EK production, Juncker bought
their dies.
2 - that is a Juncker date, they supplied the die or the entire core, in my opinion
no because the 1813 date is common to another core (in this thread) that has
nothing in common with known Junckers.
My scenario could be not complete as the long flow type has dates in common with these cross.
