Since I have been collecting quite a few 1914 EKII's I have just started to study them closely but am no nearer to understanding them.While a few makers are pretty consistent with their cores and frames,a lot use other manufacturers parts and stamp them with their own mark even large manufacturers like K.A.G and KO....why?...I haven't a clue!

If KO and K.A.G. can have more than one core,I don't see why not SW can't either.

I would have said WILM as well Gordon! Can you post an obv/rev pic of the whole cross?

Cheers

Dave

BTT-posted a year ago-sharing again, also anybody add info about it for me?

Nope,still haven't seen another one!

Dave

I was hoping for diamonds!

Damn! I left my two EK2 spangen together and looked what happened! Another one appeared!!

Very nice Rich mate ...if I leave these two together do you think I'll get some diamonds?!

So you are a blades out man then eh Bob! What are the benefits of storing daggers out of their scabbards?..or if anyone is a blades in man,then why?

Btw,great storage!

Dave

Have you been doing a bit of polishing David?

Thought so

Nice EK's David!

Yes I think the EK1 would have had a backing disc.I seem to recognise the EK1,did you buy that from a British dealer?

Dave

Thanks chaps!

Seems their "round" crown core is the type most commonly seen,must say I prefer their other core with the larger and more detailed crown...details to the reverse of the "big crown"EKII are a lot crisper as well.

Dave

Glad you like it David

Dave

Looks ok,can you show us the whole bar obv and rev?

Dave

Here is a pic of my Grandad early in WW1,he was in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and has on a snake belt in this photo.

Thanks Tom,much appreciated!

Anymore?..surely there must be a few K.A.G's in collections.

Dave

Cheers

Nice crosses!

I don't think Scott's cross is a CD though Bill.

Here are a couple of my 800's,on the the left a CD800 and on the right a KM 800

That must be off eBay ...I bet it was sold as a rare U-boat captains Iron Cross who was a second cousin twice removed of Hitler's

Dave
