gregM Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 This looks to be a 1 piece cross. I have heard that some of thesewere made in solid silver but I have never seen one or seen one posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe campbell Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 i agree with the one piece construction, have seen the"texture" of the core on some other pieces, but you have a real gem there.lovely.joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) I like the cross; however, one thing that is questionable to me is why would it be marked 800 way out on the corner ? I orginally thought it was on the obverse --- old eyes Edited December 11, 2007 by Rocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 That's a very interesting one! Far away from being common-the 1st class variation you can get every month,but this one is harder to find.The stamping is a bit strange,but it could be a kind of "marketing"? 800 silver would sell better than silveres brass.......all in all a piece that would fit in every ones EK collecting!Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregM Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Here is on that was posted on WAF. It is the same style of 1 piece cross.Perhaps now that we have seen 2 of these pieces maybe they will beaccepted as an authentic piece.http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...ht=solid+silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
