EK 1914 Show your IC postcards

WW1 Christmas cards with the IC

[Odulf]

A most interesting postcard of the IC, made up by soldiers' shoulderboards in the shape of an Iron Cross.

(I wonder what happened to the original...)

The text explains: The original is a wall cloth compiled from many shoulderboards of the German Army, in posession of His Imperial and Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the German Empire and Prussia. Produced in the Workshop of Oswals Heinrich, Chemnitz i/S.

Elswhere on the forum it was suggested that the EK2 preceded the Badge for Wounds. Could these postcards support that idea?
