Stogieman Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thanks Marshall, you have a discerning eye and I would practice it... it has payed off for me to have one on the flight badges in more ways than one. The other comment I would make is that I thought the stem on the backs of the 1914 crosses wasn't straight "down".... I think that core is the same die on all 3 crosses, or at least extremely close?? Shouldn't the stem on the 1914 be turned aside a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biro Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) Shouldn't the stem on the 1914 be turned aside a bit?...Hi RickI'm not sure I'm quite getting the question... Here's a closer shot of the stem on Les's 1914 prinzen... it appears to turn and flare... but maybe that's not what you're asking... ?? Can you re-word for someone with only a basic grasp of language.... Marshall Edited November 24, 2005 by Biro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregM Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I know I am alittle late to this discussion. But Here is a cross a would like to put up for your approval.(sorry for the spelling)This is a 1914 EK1 screwback. It is one piece with an enameled core. it is roughly 22mm x 22mm.Would you consider it a 1/2 sized prinzen or a BIG mini?[attachmentid=19470] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregM Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 (edited) And here is a 3/4 size EK2. Standard 3 piece construction with a 20mm ribbon. Please not that it does not have the small crown and corner beading is completely different than the one showen as possible fakes.[attachmentid=19471] Edited December 18, 2005 by gregM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
