Think it's ok! I've got the same piece (mm K.A.G.). Please show your mark.

The maker's mark is not legible...

(See below photo)

IMO opinion it`s a good one....

Here is a pic of my EK2 with mm 55.

King Regards,

Very nice Cross.

Thanks,

John

Althought one can not see the exact details, I`m almost convinced it`s good.

Thanks. I wasn't sure.

(I tried to post large picture, but it won't allow me... Any idea how I could ost larger photos?).

New addition to my collection:

Magnetic core. Ring has Maker's Mark "55".

Does it look original to you guys? Edges seem a bit sharp...

Opinions?

Thanks

John

I should add that Gen. Mataxis was rather proud of his CIB with 2 stars, far more than any other decoration he had received in his 32-year career, as it was the one that you earned in the mud with the troops. He always called it his "Perfect Attendance Award".

Just a personal note, (not trying to start this tread up again), but I did meet BG Ted Mataxis several times as a lowly Cadet attending the Valley Forge Military Academy (class of '85). I too recall him him calling his CIB his "Perfect Attendance Award".

As a young man I was in awe of him at VFMA. In my mind he was always the true example of the "Tough Old Warrior". Though I never knew him on a personal basis, I always felt that he was a leader you could follow to the gates of hell... without thinking twice about it!

Thanks for the info.

New guy looking for help. Started to collect some EK1 and EK2's 1914 and 1939. But I am not much of an expert. I need help...

Below is a couple of photos of an EK1, non magnetic, vaulted, 3 piece construction. No visible markings.

Cross looks like it was repainted.

Previous owner cleaned the frame.

I was wondering if this looks like an original to you guys?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
