Hello EK fans. I was hoping someone might be able to identify this cross by its maker? The ring is slightly misshapen and is unmarked. It has a really nice patina to both the silver frame and iron core and the arms of the cross appear (to me, at least), to have somewhat less of a "flare" at the ends...Any help id'ing this one by maker would be great. Thanks in advance...

Sorry IMO it's not K&Q, but Grossmann (11).

Jarek is right this is not K&Q but IMO this is a unmarked 24 (big frame)Comment

OK gents. Duly noted. Many thanks!Comment

Please note the digit "3" in 1939 and the level of the base of the two digits "1" in 1813. It Grossmann. IMO.

I agree. But I don't think Douglas's EK is a Grossmann. Is it marked 11?Originally posted by boch_62 View PostBest regards,

No it is not marked ..... and the ribbon ring is a replacement . It has the same flaws in the date - and the same corners ... picture added .
That is why it is a Grossmann ..... quit rough shape - late war with poor paint and one can see the zinc bubbling under the paint .
The only other one it comes close to is a Ferdinand Hoffstätter L/19 .

yes ,Jarek was right
,this is a Grossmann type
but a little bemused,because this in the piece usual bigger frame
but the date same than the Grossmann
(unfortunately I looked on my mobil)Comment

Grossmann and L/19 are the same design because they use same frame and core. But I don't see that design in Douglas's EK2.Best regards,
