      The second one is not an L/17 as the chest feathers are wrong, plus the stamp is generally located under the clasp. I then thought it was a P&L because of the pin and catch but it doesn't match either. It is doubtful that this is a real spange. I have every known EKI spange in my collection except for Juncker. Jim

      I would like your opinion on this 11 place ribbon bar, the maker is Kokke, Frankfurter Alle, Berlin. I bought it at SOS this year for my collection (spanges). Jim

      This one is harder to find than the Schinkle-B. I have only seen one offered and he was selling priced like an EKII. By the time I seen it (5 mins) it was long gone. Jim

      I have this one, it is a 14mm. Jim

      I received this minature yesterday and it will be a fine addition to my EKI screwback collection. It also came with a minature case. These are rare or very difficult to find. Cross measurements: Height: 15.24 mm Width: 15.54 Case Width: 50.83 mm Length: 52.39 mm Thick: 19.09 mm Jim

      Send it back, it is post war. The give-a-way is the catch, no TR crosses had this catch until after the war and they were made by Souval.

      I recently seen this book and it is more into the history of the Iron Cross than individual crosses themselves, although there are pictures of some but not all makers. I don't read German but I don't think it is a good reference book for the EK. But I could be wrong. Jim

      This spange is never marked. Yes spanges like EKs is a minefield and you should always ask before buying, I have a lot and still ask. Jim

      It is a Ziemer & Sohn or also known as the big eye. Jim

      I agree that the cross has been denazified and then someone added a swastika later (I have not seen this style of swastika on any of my crosses). Jim

      Chris, The EKII is an L/18 - B.H. Mayers and the EKI is by Unknown maker. Jim

      Hi Chris I have a round EK1 that is listed as a Wiedmann and I think it is the same as yours (except yours is Boerger).

      Here is a picture of three of mine (one has a prong missing), am still looking for the round type. Jim
    15. Jim R
      PK, there are four diiferent prong types that Boerger used - four prongs one each corner, four prong center (two top, two bottom), four prongs (round prongs instead of flat), two prongs center. Jim

      I think it is a fake, I have all known round 3's and none of them have the thin date. I think this is the new brand being produced (forgot what country). Jim

      This is my collection of Schinkels. I just received my last ones today a Juncker EKI & EKII. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to my collecting colleages. Jim

      Dan, Looks like a Deumer Schinkel and most of them I have seen are in almost mint condition. Jim

      For everyone interested I have loaded all of my EKI Scewbacks into the Image Gallery. Jim
    20. Jim R
      Another converted cross is the L/19. This cross was done by a jeweler and you can see where the hinge and catch was. I want to thank everyone for their comments. Jim
    21. Jim R
      Eric, I posted them in the Iron Cross section http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=46689&pid=430510&st=0&#entry430510 Jim

      EKI 800
    23. Jim R
      Per request from the Collection forum here are pictures of my EKI marked 800 and the field made EKI.
    24. Jim R
      After four years of putting this set together with a lot of help from collector friends I have finally completed this collection. My next project will completing my Spange collection. Jim
    25. Jim R
      Can you remove the disc and see if there is an anti-rotation pin setting low? Also, there is no known maker 51 for screwbacks. Check and see what maker is stamped on the disc, although I have not seen this stamp used by any maker (I have screwbacks by all known makers except L/14). Jim
