Steve campbell Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Another unmarked piece that came in a grouping said to be from the same soldier. Any ideas on the maker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve campbell Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 I picked this one up with some other medals for next to nothing. It's in rough shape but when I saw it I decided to give the poor thing a home. The frame is seperating and there is no ribbon ring. They can't all be mint I guess. I wonder about the maker.

Steve campbell Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 The rear of the cross with no ring. Core detail is actually pretty good on this one. Too bad it's kind of beat up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve campbell Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 This cross came in a grouping said to belong to one soldier. It appears to be marked Y on the ring. This picture is not great but this cross looks really good in hand. Amazing how these photos show all the blemishes. You can't see any of that on this piece with the naked eye.

Steve campbell Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Here's the last one from my collection. It is an example I'm not quite sure about. It came on a 2 piece medal bar and is unmarked. This piece is lighter than my other EK2's but is magnetic. I almost feel it is a one piece construction, but can't be sure. There's just something different about it. I wonder if it's good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve campbell Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Here's a view from the top. Is it one piece? Like I said it's lighter than a regular EK2. Thanks for looking. I appreciate any help or comments on the crosses I have listed. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Steve, The mottled paint on this EK is outstanding, it adds a lot of character. Overall a super nice group of EK's and thanks for sharing.

Steve campbell Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments. Took alot of work to post them really, taking the pics, sorting out the best ones resizing and posting but I enjoy it. Hopefully someone can benefit from it, as I enjoy seeing differnt pieces posted. It would be nice if I could get a few answers to some of my questions that I have posted here. Cheers, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Nice crosses... when a guy starts collecting those.... he has a lifetime of colleting ahead of him.... and the big plus to them is 99.99% are original! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve campbell Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 They are one of the best bets in collecting. Still affordable, same construction as any other cross and they look great. I don't think they have the same rate of reproduction as alot of other medals. They are overtaking my 39 EK's my a good bit. So do they all look good?

Naxos Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I've added a few more pictures of this cross in the hopes someone might have an idea about it.Hi Steve, beautiful collection, thank you for the nice pictures. I think the EK is a four piece sheet metal construction.Regards, Hardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve campbell Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 There is something differnt about this one for sure. What's the story on 4 piece sheet metal construction? Rare? Authentic? Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve campbell Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Very interesting! Looks like I did well on that purchase. It came on a run of the mill 2 place medal bar with a Hind Cross. Didn't cost much and when I got it I never thought much of it because I never had many EK's at the time. As I picked up more I realized it was a little different than the others. I love the variety of some of these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve campbell Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Just recieved two new pieces yesterday. The first I picked up her on the sale forum. It's marked WS on the ring, which is then overstamped with Z. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
