PKeating Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 What a wonderful pair of Iron Crosses! Thank you for showing us these. The .800 EK1 is so rare. I must photograph my vaulted EK1 1939, which is in the same bracket of pre-PKO 'rules application' of March 1941, and post it here. Interesting that yours is flat, as per regulations. Very nice. The field conversion is, in the true sense of the term, extraordinary. You, sir, are a lucky fellow to have two such treasures. PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim R Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Another converted cross is the L/19. This cross was done by a jeweler and you can see where the hinge and catch was. I want to thank everyone for their comments. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
