Thanks for any and all help.

This was being sold as a cast brass cross. I do not think it is brass .--There is no yellow

showing. Plus I do not think it is cast. I think it is die struck.

This scan shows the side of 1 of the arms. It shows lines that I think are

shear marks from being struck. All of the arms have these marks.

Here is a 1 piece EK2 that I just received and I would really some help with it. Any

and all opinions are welcome.----

The overall quality of this cross is very nice.The details are very sharp. It has the

look too me of the 1 piece EK1s that we attribute to the 1920s-30s. ( same style of

date and "W" however the crowns are close but slightly different.

Great small scale armour. Your detail is amazing considering the small size.

Dan,

You caught me. It's the story of my life--I could never afford the beauty queens so I

settle for 2nd or 3rd runner up.

Can be quite nice on the other-----

You don't judge a book by it's cover.

What is ugly on one side----

Just a question------

Do we know any of the diiferent manufactures of 1870 EKs?

I know we have examples from Wagner and Godet and S-W but do we know any others?

I have a few 1870 EK2s and the only one I can attribute to a particular maker is

a Godet with the "short 7"

Here is one with great attachment system

Sorry Greg ! It'sis the same, I was determined to get this one. Next one is yours.

Kjell

I am glad it went to a good home.

Hi Kjell,

Very nice ! Is the buttonhole with the 2 small EKs with the hanging Hindenburg

a new addition? I got out bid on ebay for one just like that just a couple weeks ago.

Greg

Very nice new additions. The 1870 with OAKS is great !

I've been told this is a hard to find Early life saving medal.

I do not know if it qualifies as "rare". Feel free to remove it if it

does not measure up.

Micha,

Very nice cross.

AWS liked brass. I have a twin to yours--even missing the back plate.

Mine is brass framed with an iron core. There is no evidence that it was ever plated.

WOW Great pictures

Marshall--In the few years that I have been reading the forums, this is the first time I

have seen you post a helmet. I think we would like to see some pictures of your collection.

The backside. Almost identical except this one has FANGS

From the collection of Tiger 1

I think it looks just as it should. Here is another example to compare to.

You were right----I do

Very nice looking collection and nicely displayed

I would really like to see a better picture of this little beauty.

Kjell,

Very nice collection of minis.

I love the contast between the rusty, poorly detailed core and the

mirror polished backside.
