Single mounted EK II for ID

[peterm]

Hi guys!

Could You please help with the identification of this EK II 1939?

Many thanks in advance and kind regards,

Peter

Really no chance to identify this cross?

Kind regards, Peter

Been stumbling around on this one .... that high reverse date ??
As a guess other wise would go with a Rettenmaier .

Thanks, Douglas!
Could it be a "Walter & Henlein"-cross?

Best, Peter

[peterm]

Full backside...

It's Walter & Henlein in my opinion.

[Douglas 5]

I had looked at that also .
I thought all had to have 2 o'clock flaw and a low/regular sitting 1813 ?
The file sample I have - or are there 2 different reverse cores ?

Douglas

[Dansson]

Not all have the flaw, but this one has. It has a tilted frame and the flaw is visible in the right side of the upper arm

The core is not the low and shallow that I usually see on W&H, but the flaw makes me quite certain.

Many thanks for taking the time to ID my cross, guys!
The cross was accompanied by a "Walter & Henlein"-packet and came directly from a privat source. So maybe the cross really once had been delivered with this packet.

With best wishes, Peter

[Douglas 5]

That is possible .
W&H were on the list quit early - different core probable .
More than one envelope is known .
