EKII Juncker Schinkel, Ziemer spange...

[Robert P.]

These just arrived from Holland today (thanks, Ben) and wanted to share them. A beautiful EKII Juncker Schinkel (brass core) with Type 'A' or '1' '39 Juncker core, and a buntmetal Ziemer spange on a very nice cast core 1914 EKII. I might add that the 1914 ribbon is full-length.

Interesting Juncker EK2 with inside corners ontop the Swastika like the EK1 I have .

Glad to see they finally arrived Robert....

Don't worry Trevor, that one (and another exam,ple) are still in my collection.
If it goes, you'll be the first to know

The core in the one Trevor has is proper proportions to fit well in the frame .
Now the EK2 Robert has here (and a EL1 I have) are very odd in the sense that a core was put in that does not fit -- and more puzzling that no attempt made to make it fit - some thing simple like filing the corners ?? -- and send them out as quality workmanship ?? ( Disgruntled workers last day on the job ?)
This one here is only the 4th one I have seen - not many around ... slipping through quality control ?

Thanks Douglas, I have already read it but is it correct ? how is it possible to know it ?

Brass? I'd say zinc. Never saw one of these with a brass core anyway.

Zinc it is. Thanks Trevor.
