Bill Garvy Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 (edited) A treasure trove of Iron Crosses was located in an abandoned bunker in Russia. I am not sure exactly when they were located, but I would guess in the last twenty or so years. These Iron Crosses were all cased and boxed. Many of them were not damaged, although some were water damaged. Those that were not damaged were in pristine condition, and, as I understand things, were maker marked "26" for the firm of B.H. Meyer. These crosses were released to the market, and a great many collectors initially doubted their authenticity due to their pristine condition. They have since been accepted as authentic. Initially they were quite attractively priced, but presently are being sold for $500+, assuming you can find one. . .
