      So if we know what regiments fought there, I guess it would be possible to find award documents, military passes etc. from these units dated from July 1, 1916 and narrow it down?
    2. Steve campbell
      ​Yeah, I found it anyway. Might cost me over $50, but may be worth it.

      Thanks guys! Those postcards are great Chris. I'll have a look at the book. Right now I'm reading "The Somme" by Martin Gilbert.

      As a native Newfoundlander I am interested in the Royal Newfoundland Regiment that fought at Beaumont Hamel starting with the first day of the Battle of the Somme, July 1, 1916. My question concerns the German units that fought at this same time at Beaumont Hamel. Which units were they and does anyone have any related items from these units? EK documents, military pass books, photos etc.

      I think this one is good.
    6. Steve campbell
      Wow, great one! So there is no backing plate on these?

      Another great cross with character to boot. One of the most highly sought after examples for sure.
    8. Steve campbell
      Nice cross. A TR made piece. I have one like this that came on an LDO screwback case.
    9. Steve campbell
      Very unique stamp, and nice cross. Now tell us about the core.
    10. Steve campbell
      Does the carton say something about being for an officer? The case looks like it has a non standard closure system.
    11. Steve campbell
      Great set! You seem to have been laying low lately. Good to see you back in full force with such nice items.
    12. Steve campbell
      I also think this is an S, a known maker of these.
    13. Steve campbell
      What a great set. Classic cross, the harder to find style case and the very difficult to find cardboard carton.

      I have seen EK2s wrapped in a blue heavy paper. Haven't picked one up yet but I think many here have seen these examples, often stamped with a maker's mark. I guess there could have been similar ones in brown paper. These are much heavier than tissue paper however.
    15. Steve campbell
      Is it just me or does something look very strange with that core? The details are mushy. I haven't seen one look like that before.
    16. Steve campbell
      I just counted 50 1914 EK2s in my warroom, with another in the mail. Man, how did it come to this?
    17. Steve campbell
      The rear of the KO.
    18. Steve campbell
      Here's a KO marked cross with a nicely detailed core. You can see it's a nicer core than the other KOs I have posted here.

      A full view of the tri mount set up.

      The rear of the unmraked cross on the tri fold mount.
    21. Steve campbell
      Here's an unmarked EK2 on an Austrian style tri fold ribbon.
    22. Steve campbell
      Full view of the mount.
    23. Steve campbell
      The rear of the 800 marked parade mount.
    24. Steve campbell
      A few more recent arrivals. First, a single parade mount marked 800 on the ring.
    25. Steve campbell
      Thanks guys. It's on it's way to me. Probably the first of many.
