Chris Boonzaier Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Have posted tis a number of times over the years.... but here once again... an out of the woodwork cross that is in a Legion Condor Vet group.... Anyone know any others with makers marks?
Jim R Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Hi Chris I have a round EK1 that is listed as a Wiedmann and I think it is the same as yours (except yours is Boerger).
Chris Boonzaier Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 Hi, this is in a group I saw 6-7 years ago. The collector is a ultra advanced (2 VCs level) British Commonwealth collector. he wanted one German group and this was found for him, still in the family. The guy was killed in the war (for some reason i think Battle of Britain, but maybe later). Anyway, it was a killer Legion Condor etc group... as one of the last pieces I looked at the EK... Some time ago someone was saying "Early cross with a stamp like that, something foul..." This is an UNTOUCHED woodwork piece. Present owner did not even know what a round three was till I explained it to him Best Chrs
ben bijker Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Hi Chris, is there any chance to find out when this cross was awarded? It's an early ek, butr these numbers weren't introduced before mid '42 So it IS possible that it it's marked, but only if it was awarded after mid '42. Best regards, ben
