    1. i will spend some time to take better pics of the core sometime today. as you can tell, it's rather difficult to for me capture the core due to the graininess of the surface. plus, i'm rather inept with my ancient camera. micha: the 1914, w, and crown on my example seem to be more pronounced than your specimen.
    2. hmmm...no comments? i thought this cross would have surely generated a bit of discussion, either positive or negative
    3. that's a nice ek2! and the watch fob thing is sorta interesting in the sense that the crown is nearly rubbed out--from someone's thumb? or perhaps it's merely the effects of corrosion
    4. perhaps an insignia for a decomissioning team working with the 'allies'?? i dunno, germans had to scrap a lot of weaponry, including heavy artillery, during the postwar years
    5. wow, an extremely close match to leigh's british badge. seems like the 'bottleneck' area is slightly wider on the german version, though
    6. is it possible to zoom in and get a larger, clearer view of the device? the awards i mentioned have the date '1923' on the grenade, and these pics are dated 1919, so the chances that the two may be related are kinda iffy--unless these are precursors to the official, later days or something
    7. the 'waffenring der deutschen scwheren artillerie' vet's org used the grenade device...it can be seen on the barbarakreuz awards
    8. i suppose the worst case scenario would be that it's a '57 example. any solid evaluations? thank you one more shot of setup
    9. very thin pin, flat wire catch. steinhauer & luck used this type of setup
    10. jury's still out on this one as far as the exact era... but i like it
    11. it's fine. notice the concentric circles from the stamping process? that's a key indicator, imo.
    12. oh, and i just noticed one more thing: the inside of the disc ALSO has vestiges of the original protective laquer... just like a mint screwback k.m.s.t. example in my collection
    13. another view of core i'd welcome some input on this one; it's a strange one, no?
    14. other side of disc. as i mentioned before, the disc is comprised of two separate pieces that have been joined together
