    EK 1 /1813


    Recommended Posts

    I have found a dealer who has an Iron cross 1st class 1813.

    He claims it?s made arround 1850 or somewhat later.

    It has an open frame in the back, an iron core and a hook applied to the frame.

    Dimensions in mm :42.3 x 42.5, width at end of arms 22.5. Weight: 12.7 gms.

    The price is fair. When i look in my litterature I don?t find any pictures of any 1813 cross from the middle of the 19th century.

    My question to the club is simply. "Is it real or just anotherr piece of metal?"

    Frame looks more like a filed down 1914er.

    That's what I was thinking. :( ?why have a complete frame on the revere where no-one will see it?

    space filler only IMHO

    It,s still there. But it is way out of reach for me

    I'm glad someone brought that up and hope i'm not going :off topic:, but doesn't the 1914 style vaulting and pin assembly seem odd for someone who died in 1840? :unsure:
