    1914EK1 in a halbetui!


    Recommended Posts

    Hi,

    I thought I'd post some pics of a recent arrival - a Prussian 1914EK1 in a halbetui. I don't recall seeing many Imperail halbetuis before, so for me it's of more interest than the cross. For the record, the cross is a 3-piece brass (non-magnetic) indeterminate late-WW1 to earliest 40s example. Following are some pics of the case.

    Regards

    Hi Rick,

    I put such a wide date range on this cross because the same (or very similar) hinges are known from badges as early as 1918/1919 eg, the earliest Stahlhelmbund Dienstreitritt Abzeichen, Freikorps and a plethora of 20s veteran organisations/awards (eg the HCH TIMM Berlin marked Prussian Landeskriegerverband 1 Kl Ehrenzeichen). The hinge of course extended to early/mid WW2, as used on eg Round 3 EK1s and 6/8/10 rivet DKiGs.

    Regards
