My fixed bale with early Westinghouse liner. This came from the estate of an 8th Airforce officer but there is nothing to say it was his helmet.

AWS/Juncker connection
Richard Gordon replied to Richard Gordon's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
This one was on the Militaria Berlin update today (they own the photos). Looks like a similar hinge/pin set-up but just not a chunky! -
I need to read this thread completely but without photos showing it makes it hard to follow. While I'm waiting for the photos I'll post this...was on eBay not that log ago: I think when I discussed this on a Spanish forum, the consensus was that only the swords were made by Deschler and had been added to the cross but the cross itself was from another maker. Is that correct that Deschler was not a maker of the 4th class?

Eric, from memory yours is the least worn example I have ever seen! No markings at all? -
AWS/Juncker connection
Richard Gordon replied to Richard Gordon's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Trevor, thanks for sharing what you know of the Juncker/AWS connection. I didn't think there were other factors such as others using their part and or tooling. Brian, It is a nice cross but the soldering is a bit sloppy around the hinge as noted in the photographs. I would imagine this one was never awarded nor worn in combat. It looks like a post 1918 creation. With iron crosses of various types it is amazing how some of the most desired are actually not that well made like the Juncker RK and some are a bit ugly like the core of the KMST EK1. Rich -
AWS/Juncker connection

OK, I guess the silence is an indicator that i made a mistake returning here, -
I often see written that there is a connection between AWS and Juncker. I have never seen a Juncker 1914 EK1 but plenty of AWS. Where does the connection stem from? Is this one AWS or Juncker?
