Hi..

This is my first post here and I thought I would start with latest addition to my collection.A spange zum eisernes kreuz 2 klasse on both WW1 EK ribbon and KVK2 ribbon.I can't see a mm but it's a Hammer and sohne clasp. I found this on Grenadier military antiques,first class service and made it drom the US in 8 days,not bad.I hope you enjoy.

Regards Jon

Welcome to the forum, Jon..

Having had a look at your three posts, all I can say is that you certainly have some very nice pieces. I take it that your speciality is EK related, or is this the tip of the iceberg?

Thank you for your welcome,I guess you could say this is just the tip of the small Iceberg.I focus mainly on Ek's,Spangen and Rohm Daggers,I have a couple of partials SS and SA and I'm on hot pursuit of a full one.Hard to resist this Clasp not seen any others like it yet would love to find an EK2 Ost combination.I was directed here by another member and I like to share my 'Booty' so I will be posting more and looking into membership.

Very interesting sewn together pair. I've always been surprised that despite how often WW2 awards were worn out of the buttonhole like yours, they didn't go for the neater combined woven WW1 fashion statement:

Hi

I have spoken to Jim in WAF and I have been using his work for reference for sometime without realizing,he also sent me a PDF of his Spange collection,and he's also on German daggers forum gallery as I am sure you know.His work his invaluable for the Spangen collectors for sure thanks for the new link.I think the ribbons may have been sewn together after removal from the tunic but of course can't be sure.This must be an early KVK2 ribbon as its orange through out and not faded as was pointed out to me by another collector.Not seen the WW1 combined woven before,interesting thanks for showing.

Regards Jon
