For Research Oak leaf for Iron Cross 2nd Class 1870

[Komtur]

My oakleaves not sure which variant

Variant No 10, until now I found this one on 12 different order bars. It is also shown in a catalogue of AWS from 1908. So it is quite sure an old and original one version of the Oak leaves.

Regards, Komtur.

I assume we do not know who manufactured that variant for now?

I assume we should assume AWS

Much obliged

Something you might find interesting.

Here is a scan of a ribbon bar from a Paul Küst catalog page.

I believe that this dates to before 1914 as the only iron crosses

shown are 1870s.

Paul Kust made miniature awards, button devices, frack chains,campaign bars

and possibly the 25 year oak leaves. I was hoping you might be able to match

the poor detailed oak leaf drawing to one of your Oaks versions.

Just for reference, hear is the full sized page that shows his offerings.

I was trying, but unfortunately not. But many thanks for your input
