The Ek is orginal but the stamp on the pin is made after the ek was made. What about a Maybauer for maker?.

Pin looks rather different than anything I've seen before ....

looks like it's been sharpened shorter, and yes, that mark was made post production... what is it?

Here's a closeup of the mark...forgive my amateur photography - this may be upside down for all I know.

yes it is. I suppose that's a 900 silver mark. but it doesn't look as crisp as one might expect. Maybe the whole pin is a replacement? But I feel the mark isn't period, or for real.
Here's a comparison to a Maybauer (yours is on the left) I see differences in the date... It's always hard to establish a maker of a non-maker marked cross, without any good clues, let's see if anyone works it out!

Is it just me, or do the date numbers on jabbo's EK appear uneven?

George,
It isn't you. My 4yr-old daughter draws her numbers straighter than that!
