Thanks Grant, So the leaves "falling inward" are the early cores, "bulging out" are the later cores? Kind Regards, Steve -

Nevermind guys, seems this one is a fraud, with the L/12 on the frame ground off. Back to the search... Kind Regards, Steve -

Bundesrepublik 1957 Knights Cross
stevo4361 posted a topic in Germany: Post 1945: Bundesrepublik & DDR
Hey guys, Would like to share my first Knight's Cross, a later (1970's?) 1957 version Ritterkreuz. With case and ribbon, and appears to be stamped 800 on the frame but I think this may be a "misadvertisement." Magnetic core and 3 piece construction. Quality isn't too bad, not a wartime cross by any means but OK. Any thoughts on a maker? Thanks guys, Kind Regards, Steve [attachmentid=52772] [attachmentid=52773] -

EK 1939 Cased Zimmerman "20" EKI
stevo4361 replied to stevo4361's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Thanks guys, Mr. Gordon, thats the exact kind of blackness as on my cross, thanks for sharing it and for the explanation, sure makes sense to me. It sure doesn't appear to be damaging the underlying metal, just on the surface. Thanks guys, you've put my mind at ease! Kind Regards, Steve -

Hi guys, A new arrival today, a cased (halbetui) mm "20" Zimmerman in pretty good shape I thought I would post. Has kind of a strange finish to the front side, with the black "highlights," has anyone else seen something like this? If additional pics are wanted please let me know! Thanks guys! Kind Regards, Steve [attachmentid=37876]

Hi Pat, Yours looks like a good KO cross to me too. On the KO maker mark, you will see many different types of cores in these crosses, so these crosses might not match your cross' core, but they are all authentic crosses. Kind Regards, Steve

Hi Peter, Great cross man, thanks for sharing! On the 8 different variations, I would love to learn more about these crosses, could you please expand on this, time permitting? Would sure appreciate it, love to learn more about these FA crosses, as there doesn't seem to be an abundance of information out there on them. Thanks, Kind Regards, Steve

WOW! Thanks Claudio, dond, and Paul for sharing your examples, fantastic crosses! Amazing groups Claudio! A quick question, on the "Vor dem Feinde" bar there seems to be some variation, from the black version to silver. Are both types accepted as wartime, or like the 1st class is one the "war version" and the other "post war version?" Hey Jef, I'm not an expert, but on conservation personally I only go after the active, orange rust. There are a few ways to do that, and there have been some great postings on conservation, I'll try and find some for you man! Here's a post of an amazing 1813 EK II, and towards the bottom of this page rust treatment is talked about, hope this helps man, http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3650&hl=rust Kind Regards, Steve
