      I have not heard nor seen of either a 141 (Sohni, Heubach & Company of Oberstein), or a 142 (A.D. Schwerdt of Stuttgart). I would sure like to see some detailed pictures/scans as your time permits. . .

      Sorry, I posted in the wrong topic. . .

      Dear Joe, Please help this old man, and tell me what you see that I don't see. Both hinges appear identical to me, short of having both crosses in hand for a side-by-side comparison, obviously. . . [attachmentid=63011] [attachmentid=63013]

      My latest addition, Nr. 1260198. . . obverse: reverse: I have a friend whose father is in the Russian Army at present, and who is able, hopefully, to ascertain to whom these Orders were awarded. I shall advise of results, if any. . .

      Another example of a "4", incused relief. . . [attachmentid=62945]

      Seems a perfect match with mine. Is it vaulted? The core is loose and magnetic on mine. . . [attachmentid=62942]

      Is that "1815" on the cross, or are my old eyes deceiving me, again? Thanks, this brought a smile to this old face. . .

      Perhaps not original to the piece, but there is really no way of telling exactly when the repair my esteemed colleague has rightly observed was, in fact, made. The pin and catch, as well as its shape, certainly appear to indicate Third Reich period manufacture. I am quite fond of these interesting hybrids, and have a few in my collection.

      Don't forget the "ubergro?e" in that 2nd Class price range. . .

      Frank, I'm confused. Are we talking about 1st or 2nd Class Iron Crosses? I've not seen nor heard of either of those manufacturers (#0 & diamond <9>) you mention. Do you, per chance, have any photographs of those two, obverse & reverse? Deschlers I have heard of, and they happen to be one of my favorite manufacturers, so please post a picture!
    22. Bill Garvy
      I've gone on record a few times with the fact that the first two Iron Crosses I bought were Floch reproductions, and from the same dealer no less! Welcome to the club!
    23. Bill Garvy
      After viewing the reverse I can see it is a reproduction.
