EK 1870 Iron Cross 1.Class 1870, by Wagner

[Bernhard H.Holst]

Hello readers.

I had the good fortune to acquire the Iron Cross 1.Class for the time period 1870/71 shown below. The manufacturer is Wagner and I consider it in very good condition. It has been in a collection for at least the past fifty years and by that fact alone, at least in my mind establishes it as the genuine article.

Enjoy the view.

It is indeed the genuine article Bernhard.

Congratulations on a fine I.Wagner - an original and scarce cross and very sought after even with a repaired catch like this one has.

Nice!

Marshall.

Fantastic!

Did it just come along, or had you been looking for ages?

Hello Chris:

it did just come along and from a trustworthy friend. So one cannot let something like that pass.

Great cross.

Of all the crosses I own and wish to own, that is my HOLY GRAIL.

The 1870 crosses had the finest detail of any of the Ek family

and the Wagners were the best of the best.
