Dave

Dave

Not sure at all but what about "In Memoriam" (in memory of) ... Do correct me if I'm wrong !

Hi all,

I was down at the Deutscher Soldatenfriedhof at Cannock Chase yesterday and came across this grave.

Does anyone know what the "I.M." stands for?

Cheers

Let's see your Schinkelform Iron Crosses

[attachmentid=26520]

The Twins discussed this today and I have a boomerang to toss..... but it's a GOOD one. We think your case actually dates to the 1870 era based on construction and the catch...... not such a bad thing, eh?

Wow,fantastic news ...thanks for letting me know Rick(s)

Dave

Cheers everyone Yep Glenn,incredibly it was from a dealer and he was pleased to get that amount

Allan,no fairy god dealer just good mates that keep an eye open for me ...I will always be grateful to them

Dave

Thanks chaps

The best thing of all is that it only cost me ?42GBP

Cheers

Dave

Thanks Glenn! I think the hanging attachments are homemade,maybe by the guy that won the cross so he could display it at home??

Hi all,

I picked this up yesterday and it was extremely cheap Cross is a WILM marked piece with a good length of non-combatant ribbon in a custom made case.Case has a glass lid for displaying the cross and has two attached brass rings on the back I presume for hanging the case on a wall?? Anyone seen hanging attachments like this before?

Cheers

I only have a couple of brass core EK1's both unmarked Wachtler & Lange's(like the one above),I've never been really into these types as to me they are not a true iron cross.....only my opinion of course

Dave

Now that's what I call salty! It's definitely seen some action and is worse for wear but I'm strangely drawn to it....if only it could talk eh

Dave

The two I posted above both have the "acorn" on the eye ring.

Dave

Never seen one before but it's nice,I wouldn't mind one
