EK 1914 1813 group

[Ed_Haynes]

While really marginal to my interests (and I am easily distracted), a nice 1813 Iron Cross group.

1- Iron Cross, 1813, 2nd class, combatant, in Prinzensize / Eisernes Kreuz, 1813, 2. Klasse, f?r K?mpfer, in Prinzengr??e - Probably a privately acquired prinzen cross. Worn in post-1839 style.

2- Commemorative Medal 1813-1815 for Combatants, 1813-1814 / Kriegs-Denkm?nze 1813-1815 f?r K?mpfer, 1813-1814

3- Commemorative War Medal for combatants of 1813-1815, from bright bronze / Erinnerungs-Kriegsdenk?nze f?r die K?mpfer von 1813-1815 aus heller Bronze

4- Hohenzollern Commemorative Medal for combatants of 1848/49 / Hohenzollernsche Denk?nze f?r K?mpfer von 1848/49

No attribution, unfortunately.

Reverse scan.

None of these scans are very good (or very large). Will dig it out if you need more info and better scans.

The Hohenzollernsche Denk?nze f?r K?mpfer von 1848/49 is, of course, flipped. The mounting on that one has gone "wonky". But as the mount is original, I am unwilling to "muscle" it around too much.

has evolved. yours is simple, straightforward, and

nicely done!
