Troy Tempest Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Saw this from a well known German dealer, can anyone give me an opinion please? I am still learning about 1870 EKIIs, and this one is described as: Prussia, eiserrnes cross II.Klasse 1870 with the old original band, early smaller form What is the early smaller form? Sorry the photos aren'e the closest. Thanks gents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregM Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Bigger, better pictures would help but I don't like this cross. There is a fake that matches this that distinguised by the bad looking crown on the obverse side. Notice the alignment of the sweatband under the crown. On the fake, it overhangs the right side of the edge of the crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Tempest Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Thanks Greg, I will ask for some closer photos, I was just wondering what was meant by 'earlier small form'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
