A bit time for the forum.....well done,that's a cross I would have bought,too-doesn't matter I have this maker in my collection!

@Frontk?mpfer-what would qualify me to join the EK-Hunter club?

Micha

Dear Micha !

Don't worry, you'll be the Honory Lifetime Member !! Of course !

For me (and lot of other crazy people !!) you're "The One" (I'm The One, Orgasmatron, you know this song ? ), that's your name in my Eisernes Kreuz Hunting Club !!!!

So, now we're three....

Good hunt boyz, and take care,

All the best,

Fkr

David,

It had been too long since I have added any crosses to my collection. It was a welcome treat yesterday to open up my Imperial Case and my TR case to add a couple more! I think I'm going to have to ask Frontkampfer for an application to become a Member of his EK Hunting Club.

Regards,

Joel

Hello Joel ! Hello my friend !

It's a real pleasure to see your post !

Don't worry man, you're a real Ek's hunter and a full member of the Eisernes Kreuz Hunting Club (for the moment just two members !! and perharps three with Danny70 for his help )

So good hunt and take care !

Collecting is my business, and my business is good !

All the best,

Fkr

Yes, but some good ones are non magnetic, are sometimes 1 piece and not all are marked on the ring. Many are unmarked. Fortunatley, 1914 EK2s are a fairly safe area to collect that has not been heavily hit with fakes.

Hello Steve !

Yeah, you're right but I think when somebody start a n iron cross collection thse three points are very impotant....After with some experience !!!!!!!

PS : Your thread is crazy too !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Andreas !

Well, for beginners three rules to respect :

- magnetic cross (for iron core)

- build in three parts

- and a code with letters or numbers, a manufacture mark in fact, in suspension ring

It's a little more difficult in reality but if you start a collection you need to follow these rules and you'll be protected against fakes !!

Have a nice day,

All the best,

Fkr

Well, a WS mark ??

All the best,

Fkr

Hello Snoopy and thanks for your support !

Take care collecting Iron crosses is like a drug ..........

You can't stop after the first contact !!!

So welcome home sanitarium !!

Sincerely crazy,

Fkr

:banger:

Windhoek is the capital of Namibia, formerly Deutsch-Sued-West, whereas von Lettow-Vorbeck was leading troops in Deutsch-Ost, now Tanzania. Ludicrous.

I'm agree !
