EK2 pointers on mm

[martin hall]

HI to all , would value any pointers on this on possible 23mm thanks for any help martin.

ok , now looking in the light of day (not half a sleep) i no longer think this is a 23 MM so now i am at a loss so any pointers would be great. best to all martin.

Looks like a W&H by finish, paint and chracteristics.

Still looks like a 23 with the fat bead . Can't see the other flaw.... need a better close up .

Douglas,
IMO it's certanly not 23. Reasons;

• 23 had a lot straghter arms on the frame.
• 23 did not have a S&L based frame, but this one here has.
• The core has nothing to do with 23 or Meybauer.

It might look like a flaw similiar on 23's, but the frame is far froman 23 frame.

IMO we have a W&H here, based on the reasons I stated in my previous post.



Best regards,
Daniel

Well his picture is not good - hoping for a better one .

And it does not completely match this W&H - core is different and frame is a S&L base frame .
Did W&H use 2 cores ?

Let's await for a closer picture before we continue

I am not 100% certain is it W&H, but there are characteristics I tend to see on them, shallow reverse date, the frosting, the matte paint, a bit rounder innercorners than usually on S&L based frames etc.

I think it's potentially W&H,
S&L based cross for sure.

Its all up to better pictures .

IMO Daniel is right - it's W&H (=109)

For us, unfortunately, the execution crosses W&H are characterized by a large discrepancy and large variations in quality.
But some features are immutable
- the shape of the frame with typical flaws,
- the shape of the upper right arm of the swaz
- isolated digits in the date 1813, which is usually almost touches the bottom of the frame.

I found a similar picture (sorry not mine)

The reverse date on this one is not as low .
