Solomon Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Hello,after some stuff from Lippe-Detmold, it?s now time for a nice prussian award It?s a original awarded iron cross 2nd class 1870...Of course the cross contains three parts with a iron center.It?s not marked, but it is a typical piece from WAGNER.It was arwarded in 1870 or 1871...it?s not one of the late crosses.If anybody needs better pics, feel free to ask...GreetingsSolomon
Solomon Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 ...and a original miniature of the iron cross 1870.The piece is fully made of silver...the perfect small brother of my cross
Stogieman Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Nice. Short, sweet and oh so right. Nice Wagner Cross!!
Solomon Posted February 21, 2006 Author Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) This cross belongs to that part of my collection i inherited last year There are so many fakes of this rare cross...that i felt forced to show it... Unfortunately i don?t have a fitting document...it?s very hard to find...GreetingsSolomon Edited February 21, 2006 by Solomon

Biro Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 ....It?s not marked, but it is a typical piece from WAGNER.....SolomonSolomonA very nice cross indeed... congratulations.I'm interested to know how you are able to identify it so positively as a 'typical Wagner'?thanksMarshall
Solomon Posted February 23, 2006 Author Posted February 23, 2006 It?s the design, that WAGNER used (crown and oakleaves, the writing of 1870).Btw...some other collectors identified this cross as a WAGNER-cross...i wasn?t able to do GreetingsSolomon
DavidM Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 HelloA very nice example of one of the rarer EKs. Thanks for sharing it.
Deruelle Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Hi Solomon, Great EK2. A pleasure for my eyes RegardsChristophe
