EK2 Iron Cross / Eisernes Kreuz so called Long flawed frame by /C.E. Juncker/ with marked mark Z

This piece is a very, very rare piece, as it is not the cross itself (but the piece itself is not easy to find either) that is extra special, but the Z marking on the ring makes this piece rare.
It has not been proven who used these markings and why, but even though they were found with these markings, there is therefore a version of the frame and core from Juncker, and this same marking is also found on pieces of the so-called “LUG” variant.
Its condition is almost perfect, despite the fact that, as its name reflects, not many of these specimens were made (defective frame).
These pieces very likely come from Juncker, as the frame pattern is the same and the core version shows a great similarity to the shape of the RK type inner core used in the late years.
