    1. Dave, funny you should mention B. H Meyer, because here is an unmarked example for comparison. The clasp on the example in my first post is round wire, and not the flattened type I have seen on Meyer manufactured crosses.

      clasp & vaulting:

      I'm leaning toward Deumer, with the outside possibly of Juncker manufacture, especially in the absence of any additionally compelling evidence.

      I really enjoy thinking "out loud" with you on this, in a manner of speaking. . .

    2. David,

      Thank you for your input, but I don't think its a Steinhauer & L?ck. Here's a Steinhauer & L?ck from my collection for comparison. Note the enhanced detail on the obverse, the variant style pin and hinge, and no vaulting. It does have that classic Steinhauer clasp though. . .

    3. I enjoy collecting what I call "hybrid" Iron Crosses, that is, Imperial (1914) issue Iron Crosses manufactured during World War II. Here is an unmarked Iron Cross in 1st Class recently added to my collection. I was wondering if someone could help me identify the possible manufacturer of this cross. Let me know if you need more pictures, and thank you for your interest!

    4. Another of our collector colleagues, cool, posted these pictures over at the M.C.F. of a couple of four piece Iron Crosses in 2nd Class shamelessly vivisected to bring us these pictures of the autopsy. . . Pictures used with permission of "cool", so thanks are in order. . .
