Danny70 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) Hi All...I thought I would show you all one of my most recent purchases... A rather salty 1939 EKII - maker marked '27' denoting the firm of Anton Schenkls Nachfolger, Wien (Anton Schenkl's Successor of Vienna). While suffering from some paint loss/wear, I think it is still a beautiful cross, with very crisp detail to both the core and frame. Nice wide beading with no obvious die flaws.Gordon Williamson has mentioned in his book 'The Iron Cross of 1939' that this may be the same firm known as 'Maria Schenkle, Wien'. Does anyone know if there has there been any more information found out about this connection? (since my copy - first edition 2002).Hope you all like it as much as I do... All comments are welcomed!Regards - Danny Edited February 20, 2007 by Danny70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
