Bill Garvy Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Here's one you don't see every day, an L13 (Paul Meybauer, Berlin) in 2nd Class. . .obverse:reverse:maker mark: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I'm speechless-just the 2nd of them I know in collectors hand! This is one of the extremely rare ones! Did you get it from Germany the last time? I was too late for the update........ .But anyway,this one is a killer EK! Well done,my friend!

Bill Garvy Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thank you, my friend, and yes, this one came from the land where the Iron Crosses grow. I know I paid too much for it, but as you pointed out, this is an extremely rare cross, and on some level price was of no consequence. I'm still looking for an L/15 in 2nd Class. I have only seen one. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevo4361 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Nice cross Bill! First one I've ever seen! Kind Regards,Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 HelloA super catch Bill. Congratulations. Assuming this is the one from a certain German dealer, I too tried for this but was to late. Given the scarcity of these, I don't think the price was over the top.Congratulations !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankmeister Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Bill - great cross.But just to play the devils advocate, have you compared this to a "113"? I saw this for sale too, and the big split in the ring made me wonder. I don't have one, but I was just wondering if this might possibly be a damaged (on the ring only) 113...Best,Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Garvy Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Interesting idea, Hank, but what sold me was the lower arm of the "L", big split notwithstanding. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
