First mini for me in a long , long time. 16mm Ek2, austrian mount with a 16mm deumer spange.

I remember a few discussions about these reinforcing plates and always with the same conclusions. Some say repair, some say original. I always believed them to be repairs but through the years I've changed my mind on that. Like you guys, I have saved a few images of crosses (1100 so far) to make my own datebase of known maker examples and of coarse, no regards to who's images they are so please don't be alarmed if someday you come across a thread where I might reference one of your crosses.

Fantastic chain.

Very nice looking minis.

Thank you very much !!

Does anyone recognize this one? "1 Oct 1874" on one side and the other side reads ? Krieger Verein. Thanks for any information you might be able to provide. sincerely, Greg

Very nice

I agree. Now that I've taken a closer look at it, what I thought was a repair actually looks like possibly thread wrapped around the small ring to hold the cross tighter to the ribbon.

Nice original cross. It looks to have had the small ring repaired which is common on this style cross.

My only mini purchase this year---

That's a great mini bar !!

Nice chain

Very nice !!!

some miniatures

Kasle, That's a great set of Godet minis.

WC---What can I say about that mini Maiden's cross But WOW. That's been on my want list for over a decade now.

I think the whole setup is bad.

rujab, The Major Popp chain is great. I really like that 1870 Ek and Oaks.

Peter and Kasle, Thanks very much for posting your Godet mini Eks. I think you might be right in that the fact that minie has a ribbon is due to the fact that mine uses much smaller crosses.

very nice.

new one for me.

Beautiful rare award.

nice chain
