Hi Triad08 Thanks for Your Interest,

yes scanner Pics...but I think its Details  good to see?

the small 800 (Silver) Stamp is on the lower Cross

back Arm ..Swastica stands up very clear.so "1939"

yep the Souval Marked Screwback is maybe not

belonging?...I will try to make a Photo  sometimes..

PS Maybe its made in Latvia?

& still 2WW awarded?

This is not a genuine wartime EK. The core design is very similar to another copy known as the 'Latvian Fake' so, since you purchased it there, the chances are that is is another variant from the same manufacturer.

Hi Danny Thanks! 

well Y perhaps right! I could not tell the Differance to

another similar Cross I had (with Box) & was Original

how can You tell? - Why shall be "Fakes" be made in 

such elaborate Work ? Cost more  as they can be Pur

chased? actualy as I was still in Germany Iron Crosses

First & Second Class costed about 60 Marks to 20..

I hear nearly any German Soldier got the second Class

In 1WW they dish them out in "Messtins!" to the Front

nothing really special? Well just my Opinion..

 

PS. How much You think cost now an

Original EK 1..? just curious..

Regards Jurgen
