    1. Vary nice collection. A good cross section of Eks.
    2. Richard, I wish I had your problem--TOO many EKs. JJ08, This is what the backside and parts of the sew-on style cross look like--
    3. Nice find Eric. This is a maker I am still looking for.
    4. I think Steve is right. I was always told that this particular style of cross was a 1920s-30s made piece.
    5. "You guys are Ek1 whores" I may be cheap but I'm not easy :cheers:
    6. Textbook example. Great cross Micha. That is my favorite Iron cross.
    7. Hi Eric, Nice cross--Intereseting disc. I wonder if this were done by a jeweller on request of the original owner. It makes for a nice looking setup. I like it.
    8. Very interesting thread. Deruelle, you have a great collection PLM pictures--well done.
    9. Here is mine-- The more common crown design and thin "W"
    10. I don't like the orange rust. Orange rust is active rust. not 190 year old rust. I would guess this to be a redone 1914 with forced aging.
    11. Here is a great thread from WAF identifing quite a few A7V in original photos. http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...p;highlight=a7v
    12. "we" is a makers mark that we have seen before. To the best of my knowledge we still do not know who that is. BTW--nice cross.
    13. I have always thought these to be period repairs. However these to crosses appear to be identical. It would be interesting to find out how many more of these are out there.
    14. An old collector once told me as I was searching for one that "originals are so rare as to be almost non-existant" I have seen some posted that were made from period pieces but the big question is always--When were they put together?
    15. Can we see a close-up of the maker's mark ? The pin looks like that of a WE. I have seen a WE with the same pin but a different core. As we know many companies used multiple cores. ALSO-- I have a WE listed as a maker but not a NE. BTW, Great looking cross.
    16. Eric, That is a great looking setup. If you ever decide enough if enough, let me know. I would break open my piggy bank for that one.
    17. I agree. The last cross I picked up was at a show in March and it wasn't what I would consider a great deal. They aren't any bargins to be had on ebay either. Ek2s are selling for what I used to buy screwback Ek1s for. Now I just sit back and wait and hope for that great deal to come along.
    18. I always enjoy looking at EKs and you have some great examples. I can't wait to see your display.
    19. I was watching it for a few days but in the end it went for a little more than I was willing to spend.
