Danny70 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) Hello All...I haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought I would show some of my recently purchased iron crosses. These make it 35 makers checked off.... wonder how many I have left to go?!!!The first is a well worn cross marked '1' - Deschler & S?hne, Munich. Unfortunately, it has only a partial stamp but is unquestionably a Deschler. I had been looking for one of these for ages and I know I over-paid for it.. but, hey! I finally have one!!

Danny70 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 The second is a cross marked '52' from the firm of Gottlieb & Wagner, Idar/Oberstein. In very good condition apart from two small areas of paint loss on the 3 and 9 o'clock arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kegan32 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Here is a picture of my EK2's by maker with their number on the loops. There is also a Schenkl size EK, An Knight's Cross size EK2, Couple Round 3's, along with an Austrian Fold and A Parade Fold. Getting harder and harder finding missing numbers.

Jock Auld Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 kegan32, Nice collection, where did you get the display case, is it home made or bought? cheers Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kegan32 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I bought the wood case and for the inside compartments, I bought some inserts from Riker mounts, cut them to size to fit into the case. The croses fit very nicely into each section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
