Tom63 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Hi All! Here's one of the rarer makers - Iron Cross, 2nd Class, marked '8' from the firm of Ferdinand Hoffstatter. Would appreciate to get some opinions. Thanks.
Danny70 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Hi Tom63,That's a nice cross, but something about the stamped '8' is troubling me, I have a feeling that the stamp is a post-war addition. I have not seen a Hoffstatter EK2 before, but this one does not look very like the L/19 - Ferdinand Hoffstatter EK1. I think the frame on this cross looks very like the re-worked Zimmerman crosses. Can you compare your cross to this one, IMO the frames at least are identicle.Also, May I ask where you purchased the cross?Regards - Danny Edited February 25, 2008 by Danny70
