Stijn David Posted February 26, 2008 Author Posted February 26, 2008 Hello, And the reverse of this lightweight gem Cordial greetings,
J Temple-West Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Very nice, Stijn. Any connection with 'Gliders' ?
Stijn David Posted February 26, 2008 Author Posted February 26, 2008 Hi John, Thank you => nope no connection with gliders (at least not that is known). It is just a DKiG without name but it was such a bargain i could not walk away from it. It would offcoarse be nice to have one of the very few DK's awarded towards glider pilots, but that is still a dream at this point Cordial greetings,

Richard Gordon Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 StijnThere's just something about a nice DKiG with a little bit of wear... beautiful example!!Rich
Stijn David Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 Hello, Thank you for the flowers on this cross. Such a cross is always nice to have indeed and i have noticed that they have been going up in price during the last years. Try to find a nice undamaged one for less then 2.000 ? at a dealers table these days => it will become difficult. On the other hand iff one does turn up from a collector the price is often much less for the same quality and it still does not sell. Strange world these days Cordial greetings,
Richard Gordon Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 StijnYou are right about that observation. I noticed a similar thiing with a 1939 EK1 Spange I was selling. One time waster wanted extra pictures, etc and when everthing was supplied he decided to buy one from a dealer which was more expensive and in lesser condition. Unreal.Rich
Jan Arne S Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Hi Stijn !Very nice DKiG from Zimmermann . These lightweigth DKiG can often been found in very nice conditions . Jan Arne
Stijn David Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 Hello, @ Richard: it is indeed sometimes a strange world wher elogics do seem to escape. On the otehr hand it is once again proven and it will always remain => know your stuff and then little gem's are awaiting you for a attractive price @ Jan Arne; Correctly, they seem to preserve quite well. For me such a DK is a small piece of art as it one of these awards that are not so easy to produce from a manufacturing point of vieuw. Lovely craftmanship for certain !Cordial greetings, ps: feel free to show your lightweight Zimmermann also in this trhead
Jan Arne S Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Hi Stijn !Thanks !Here is my lightweight Zimmermann . Jan Arne
