It took me one hands-on examination of a silver 1914 EK to forever turn me into an Imperialoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Y Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) Tom,What happened to this cross ? Schrapnell traces ? Or a dog ? An interesting story, I'm sure!!!Cheers.Ch.I wish I knew the story I got it several years ago on eBay. The two oval marks appear to have been made by the driving band of an artillery shell. We can only hope he lived. Edited December 31, 2005 by Tom Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Murphy Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) Here is the majority of mine. All of the ones showing the front are standard or convex pinbacks. The one with the brass back is a battle damaged one that was trench art repaired and converted to screwback. There are 2-3 more around somewhere including a regular screwback, plus the Hansen coming in the mail from Canada. I know this is supposed to be about one special cross, but greg got me started.Dan Murphy Edited January 2, 2006 by Daniel Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregM Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Dan,You have a nice group of EKs.Here is another variation. It's not very pretty but it has lots of character.[attachmentid=21236] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
