Dave B Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Andy,is the eye ring soldered directly to the frame or is it on a small "hump"? Also can you do a clearer shot of the obverse and close up of the beading round the swazDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 HelloThe best (wildest ?) guess I have for this one is maker 138, Julius Mauer. Don't get me wrong, I'm by no means certain, but that's the best guess I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Garvy Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 These unmarked Iron Crosses in 2nd Class are very difficult for me to identify unless there are some clearly identifiable characteristics, i.e. Souval. The closest "guess" I am willing to make is an unmarked "55", J.E. Hammer & S?hne of Geringswalde, based soely on a visual comparison of the following features, the last "9" in "1939" appears lower than the second "9", the beading, almost flattened on the high points, and the inconsistent cross-hatching on he inner corners. Finally, the shape of the swastika, and finish of the core compares quite similarly to other "55's" on file in our Databank. This is just my "guess", gentlemen. . .
