EK2 Review/ Question

[Rommel1933]

Hello all,

I am no expert on Iron Crosses but I believe this to be good...

I am curious if anyone knows:
-The maker
-If it matches the paper envelope I purchased with this
-If this was painted after for some reason or production

Thank you,
Scott

Pictures are not good, the more that core looks repainting ... but I could be wrong.

Hi Jarek,

I apologize I didn't post this one sooner... Here is a what I hope is a better picture for you... The more I look this it does look like someone repainted it?

Does anyone know who the manufacturer is?

thank you again,
Scott

I have a Louis Gottlieb & shone packet,I did a search on the forum and it seems they only made packets,but have turned up with EK 138 0r 52.John

Hi Scott,

Sorry I can't identify the maker. It looks to me like most of the core has original finish. IMO, the shiny/semi-gloss areas look to be original finish, while the flat black on and around the swastika as well as some other scattered spots have been sloppily touched up.

Best regards,
Tom

Hí Scott
this the manufacturer "Louis Gottlieb und Söhne " not to my knowledge made EK2

the cross is IMO a Steinhauer & Lück, but in my opinion this the cross was repainted

( sorry ,but these pictures not the best )

Hi Scott,
Try taking photographs in natural light, there seems to be too much glare from the flash

i think that is a protective layer of laquer and not paint that is starting to peel off

Looks like a S&L and would say also some kind of protective layer flaking off .
