    1. The cross is made by AWS. ( A. Werner & Sohne ) .
    2. Frankenstein cross. Someone took a $500 1870 Ek2 and tried turning it into a $4k Ek1.
    3. Nice, original cross. Congrats.
    4. This is a reworked 1914 cross. It's easily identified by the unique crown as having been made by "MFH" --whoever that was. My guess is that it was "upgraded" to try and boost the price to an unsuspecting potential buyer.
    5. Early awarded style 1870 cores were all cast at the Berlin foundry until it's closing in 1873. There is no way to tell the difference between 2nd class crosses assembled by Wagner, Godet or LL.
    6. Thanks for the reply. I just went through the "show us your minis" thread and came across a mini chain that had both the 15 year and 25 year crosses on it. So that is a maybe.
    7. I have had this mini for nearly 20 years and the time has come to try and restore it but I have no idea what the medal in the #2 position should be. My guess would be another long service medal of some sort according to the color of the ribbon but would having two LS medals make any sense with this combination? I welcome any and all comments. Thank you, Greg
    8. I agree, I see WBs mainly on chains or as a stickpin. I have a simple 2 place knopflock with a Ek and a Gold WB.
    9. My newest mini. Thank you to everyone that replied to my PMs about this piece.
