Hauptmann

Many thanks Chris! I deeply appreciate the help. I'll veer off. About given up on getting one unless I have to spend a bloody fortune. Wish I'd never let my original go way back in the mid 80's. Traded it for a very nice cased EK1. Was fairly new to it all, really really wanted a cased EK. Long before the net of course. Just Der Gauleiter, Manions, word of mouth, flea markets and gun/militaria shows. Oh well... live and learn I guess.

Hi all. Had one... an original way back when I started out and foolishly let it go. Eyeing this one but I'm far from an expert on these. These are the only pics I have. Can anyone tell if this one is good or bad? Any help deeply appreciated! Many thanks! Dan

Hi all, Need opinions on this... early/middle/late and if possible a rough value? Many thanks! Dan

Many thanks! 🙂

Many thanks! I'd not seen the other post... I'll try to find it. But I'm very pleased to hear this. Even better than I expected. I deeply appreciate the help on this!

Thoughts?

Hi Mike. Many thanks for your help on this one! I deeply appreciate it! ? Have a great week and weekend to come.

Deeply appreciate the comments. It's a beautiful cross... had hoped to find the maker but if not possible I'm still very happy with it and glad I was able to obtain it. Again my deepest thanks!

No maker's mark on ring. No idea if anyone can ID maker or not. Proper three piece construction, magnetic, a VERY tiny bit of movement of the core in the frame. Other than needing a ribbon it's a beautiful EK in hand. Many thanks in advance for any help. Dan

Hi all. I've "finally" managed to get a set of hangers but I need the belt loop with the attachment rings for the hangers to go on my brocade dress belt. Does anyone by any slim chance have one they'd be willing to part with? Please let me know. I've looked and looked on the web but so far no luck. Here's pics of what I need. Many thanks! Dan

Would love to see if you can post some pics! ?

Many thanks V.Perlet. Actually it's one I spotted on the web and was wondering what it was. I'd posted over on WAF as well and they nailed it down as the center EK from the 57er German Cross in Gold. I knew I'd seen it somewhere but just couldn't remember last night. I had the same thought re: vets organization but as to which one there's no telling. But at least one part of the mystery is solved. Thanks again! Dan

Didn't know where else to post this. Hoping for an ID/info if anyone happens to know. Guessing from an organization or society?

No thoughts, ideas, comments, info? I thought for sure one of y'all would be able to nail it down.

Hi all. I know this is an old thread but saw it was on the Imperial naval buttons. There's a youtube series of a girl and her mom who mudlark over in the UK and they found what I believe is an Imperial German naval button. I've found examples to match but not one with the rope border around the outer edge of the button. Have I missed the mark on this or is it a rare type or what? Hope one of y'all can help out on this. Fingers tightly crossed! Many thanks! Dan
