EK 1870 1870 EK II
Chris Boonzaier replied to Obergefreiter's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Fantastic link. I have not had a 1870 EK in many years, I must admit the article is a big jump compared to the info out there 10 years ago!! I look and i look... but I dont see exactly what a "9th bead fake" is? Even looking at the photo which apparently has the answer... I am lost... Can anyone help? Thanks Chris -
The Infantry ones are more manly.......

have too much of his stuff, have to find another way to display it. Best Chris
-
Nah.... dont think they would bother.......

Hi, I was just a bit suprised, had two random Photos of different guys from I.R. 182, and both were wearing these....

Just got the 101 Card, so I have for both Regiments for my wifes Great Grand father,,, here with his EKs....
-
I think I may have asked this many years ago, and then lost my info.... Oberleutnant Heinrich Gottfried Otto. awarded the EK1 in April 1917. ....somewhere in the 6th Army. I am guessing he was not in anInfantry Regiment, or a Feldartillery one... that he was maybe in some unit that was not part of a specific division.... Can anyone help? Thanks Chris

Here are two group shots...
-
I saw 2 guys in the same regiment wearing these... it may simply be coincidence, but I cannot remember seeing them on nfantrymen before.... I assume they are spurs??

Can anyone help here?

In his memoires he says von Arnim took command and he left on the 11th November 1918, the Gruppe being renamed "A" for the return to Germany, but in most online references he is listed as the commander up until Feb 1919... does anyone have any ideas?

EK 1914 Who was Max Aurich?
Chris Boonzaier replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
The reason i ask... His Prussian collection was quite famous... and I recently bought a set of General Litzmann's memoires....

That is pure art..... -
Maybe YOU do... I always wear a helmet!! :-)

Here is a question... when it come to 1870 bars, I had more without oakleaves than with them.... is it safe to make this calculation based on just mounted oakleaves? What if some crazy guy have made 200 sets of oakleaves and went crazy mounting them on bars.... it would badly sway this in the wrong direction....
-
Indeed... but having 14-15 dates it to 1915 or 16 I think....
-
When you know your unit is going to be wiped out... best thing to do is to leg it!! ;-)

Somehow does not look thaaaaaaat old?

The cost of a 1914 EK2....
Chris Boonzaier replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Hi, I think about 4.5 million, but thats not here nor there... there are surely 6 000 000 iphones in the world, but if I go into a shop and try and get a better price on that basis I will not get far ;-) -

You have to be very lucky indeed... the last show I was at you would be very hard pressed to find even the junkiest for under EUR30 :-(
