EK 1914 KO Mystery....
Chris Boonzaier replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross

EK 1914 Tips for homemakers during wartime
Chris Boonzaier replied to Naxos's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
I have a theory that the Iron Cross 1939 was somehow copyrighted to prevent folks using it for things like cookbooks... Did the NSDAP have a opyright on the swastika preventing "anyone" from just using things with a swastika to sell things like cookbooks? -
EK 1914 Turkish made Iron Crosses 1914
Chris Boonzaier replied to saschaw's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Here is my thought.... If the Turks had so many awards made outside of Turkey, would they even try and make an award as complicated as the EK2? Core, rims, putting it together etc.... Its a looot of work... Best Chrs -

EK 1914 KO Mystery....
Chris Boonzaier replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Veery flat chested I have no proof as to when the man aquired this cross, but the group was complete, document issued inmid 1916 for an early 1915 award.... Maybe he bought it later, but it is a very strange core for a KO! -
This is a bit of a mystery... check out the very fine core on this KO
