EK 1914 Question for the EK collectors
Motorhead replied to Motorhead's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Marshall, I'm not really happy with the piece shown in the linked older thread(you are talking about the first one?)..... And yes-it seems to be that there is a relationship between the"bad Godet" and the so called "theoretical Deumer".And I agree with you totally about the "fat crown" pieces of the 20ies.But there are not so many different variations as you might think! But anyway-give me an hour or two for new pics to show the relationship between Deumer and the Mutant! Micha -
EK 1914 Question for the EK collectors
Motorhead replied to Motorhead's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Hi Mike, it was never the question that this mutant could be something original! But from the comments here and in another place- no one pointed it out as what it is! OK,it was a little unfair,but it shows how good it is(just the obverse,of course)This one in hand can't fool somebody who has done his homework.But with a different reverse,no hooks and maker mark I think this could be a dangerous fake! I'm shure I've seen something with a regular pin at Ebay,but unfortunately I deleted the pics! All in all the one I've shown is number 3 I've seen the last few month.....but I'm shure it's not the last! Regards Micha -
EK 1914 Question for the EK collectors
Motorhead replied to Motorhead's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
And the hooks......So in my eyes this one is a mutant! The core is not sofar away from a Godet,the frame was possibly made with an old,original tool.The maker mark was done also with a professional tool.But if I do all this work...why the hell have they used this pin and hooks? You can't fool someone who has done his homework and tell him this is a Godet with hooks.But with a "normal" pin and without this Godet mark this EK could be the first really dangerous copy at the marked.I would like to know what you are thinking about this strange one.....

EK 1914 Question for the EK collectors
Motorhead replied to Motorhead's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Some additional informations-this Ek is a 3 piece construction,but it's non magnetic!When I look at the frame I'mshure they used an original tool(look at the die flaws).Of course the pin doesn't match to anything right,and also the colour of the whole thing is strange enough tho let all alarmbells ring.Here's a closeup from the stamp(again good work) -
EK 1914 Question for the EK collectors
Motorhead replied to Motorhead's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
I'm back-sorry for the week without an answer-I had to work somewhere at the black forest...no free internet at the hotel.Anyway,some of you might have thought"what's wrong with this idiot,why doesn't he show the backside of the EK?"I'm shure...ok-In my oppinion this iron cross is a fake.The complete backside: -
EK 1914 "900" Iron Cross 1st Class, 1914
Motorhead replied to Bill Garvy's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
That's a beauty!-and the "900" stamping is not so easy to find....well done,my friend! Micha -
EK 1914 another maker mark for my collection
Motorhead replied to joe campbell's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
From the stamping at the ribbon ring I agree with you-it looks like "Pr."Another one to go.......btw-fantastic EK,Joe! Micha -
The picture of the obverse isn't the best,but from what I can see it's a textbook "Deschler" L/10! And a very nice one....... Micha

EK 1914 Question for the EK collectors
Motorhead posted a topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Here's a saturday morning question for you-can you find out the maker? With a pic of the reverse it would be too easy,but compare the frame with the "Silber" marked ones...not identical,but.... Micha -
