EK 1914 Steel Iron Cross

[dante]

I have been offered a steel EKI, I have checked all the books and it makes no reference to "Steel" being used in the making of Iron Crosses......sorry no photos yet....welcome your thoughts

[Eric Stahlhut]

not enough info.

perhaps the seller is referring to the core. some crosses had a thinly stamped steel core.

Or it could be a one piece Ek made of iron.
