    As Roger Bender has informed me that my Iron CRoss book is virtually sold out and will shortly be out of print I have been looking around for fresh material to go into the reprint. Though you might like to see this rather nice Otto Schickle L/15 marked EK2.

    This is also my first time seeing such an example. I guess I shall have to add it to my "wants" list as well. Thank you for posting such a rare example for us to see. . .

    Hi Gordon..

    A very nice and rare Schickle - and congratulations on the books' sell out. Understandable - it is a quality piece of work.

    To what extent are you planning to 're-vamp' the book ..... a few additional pictures, or something more comprehensive?

    I'll be going through the whole thing start to finish, changing whatever needs changed/removed, updating whatever I can and putting in as much fresh info and pics as possible.

    It will be Rogers decision however in setting the balance between what needs changed and what I'd like to change. The more change, the more expensive the re-vamp.

    Hello, George!

    Here's my L/15 in 1st Class for comparison. . . I wish I could do a side by side visual comparison, but I am restricted by the 60kb maximum. Oh, I could post both crosses side by side, but I am afraid they would be too small to draw any meaningful comparison of their die characteristics. Regardless, to my untrained eye they appear quite simliar, from the rim characteristics to the core. What do you gentlemen think?

    That 2nd Class L/15 is indeed quite rare; it looks as though the core might rattle a bit. Regardless, this one goes on my 2nd Class "wanted" list. . . Edited by Bill Garvy
