    For reference here is an old thread that includes a comparison study of K&Q core types by Douglas and Robert and some examples of the 'A' type K&Q core.

            Hi Flemming,

            You did not because that core chart is flawed. It does not show K&Q's nicest and earliest core, which is the one you have on your unmarked EK2, and also it shows a few cores that are the same but are called different. The only good existing reference for K&Q cores at the moment is Dietrich and George's EK1 book.
            Best regards,
            Streptile

            Looking for ROUND BUTTON 1939 EK1 Spange cases (LDO or PKZ)

              I agree, totally. An excellent work. Their EKII book will be a masterpiece I know, like everything else they have done in the past. My attempt to make a chart for K&Q cores was poor at best.

                That was the first line-up that Robert did - since then it was redone . Correctly as Trevor pointed out there are actually only 3 different cores shown there . I did a inverted color contrast picture to better pick up the 3 core types depicted which were not all cores , but were only the ones Robert had at that time , merely for the purpose to show K&Q used some different cores .
                I thought I had posted this revised selection that shows that there were only 3 cores amongst the 5 pictures . First version charts are still out there and still unfortunately get used before Dietrich & Georges Book came out .

                  Putting the chart up and ... comparing those 3 types I forgot to mention the comparison I quickly did in post 34 does not really match ... which afterwards made me search my old files and found the amended chart I forgot I had .
                  As Trevor mentioned the early core( correctly a total of 4 cores ) which EK2 Flemming has is not on the chart . The earliest core K&Q . I received just a couple of weeks back an EK1 with the same early core -- I had not had the time to compare core the yet - until now .

                    This has become a really interesting thread, I think

                    So I have the earlist core (my UM) and a type 2 (MM 65)?

                    It sometimes impresses me, how many variants just one maker did produce.

                    Again, thank you all for the inputs, I really appriciate it.

                    I got Dietrich and Georges book of the EK 1 (and a lot of the other books from there webpage) and I am really looking forward to their EK II book.

                    Best Regards

                        I believe this is an early K&Q example as well...

                          Nice crosses Robert and Douglas

                          Interesting that K&Q used, like 4 cores. But the same frame throughout the war?

                              Thanks Douglas,

                              I had to keep this cross. It was just too nice.
