EK 1914 1914 Iron Cross 1st class with sidehooks

[Motorhead]

For all the friends of imperial iron-not a real beauty,but I think it's an interesting one....

Obverse

And the reverse with the hooks.....

[Glenn R]

That's a very nice example. I've seen odd ones of these before. Any ideas on maker? CD maybe?

[Motorhead]

That was my first thought,but it's not matching.....different cromw,date and frame.....but I'm shure I've seen this variation without the hooks before.

VERY nice example Micha - and definitely not CD.

There is a normal pinback version of this cross available here at the moment http://cgi.ebay.de/Eisernes-Kreuz-1-Klasse...1QQcmdZViewItem

but again only 800 marked, so no clue as to the maker.

There seems to be all manner of marks and gouges on your pin... I take it you've used a loupe to see that there is nothing interesting on the pin besides the 800 mark?

Well done - nice find..
