EK 1914 1914 EK1 & stickpin from ebay

[tyanacek]

Hello to all,

Every now a then, a nice item pops up on ebay. I was able to obtain this small grouping on the auction. The grouping sold for a bargain price and I never expected to win it. But the auction was closing at a bad time of day and either it went unnoticed, or no one else cared to bid on it. The seller stated that the grouping came out of his German Aunt's estate. I really like this style of 1914 Iron Cross. (I believe it is actually a replacement piece, manufactured either during the late Weimar or early Third Reich Period.)

I like the stickpin too. A nice combination with the EK1, EK2, Saxon Silver Friedrich-August Medal, and 1914-1918 Cross of Honor. The brass friction sleeve on the pin is a neat little feature.

Best regards,

Tom
