EK2 1870 Prinzengröße - what about wearers' pictures?

[ArHo]

Good afternoon,

just out of curiosity I was wondering if there are any pictures out there that show "Prinzengröße" or reduced 1870 iron crosses worn by the men who won them. 

I "developed" this question while combing through the forum and reading about these privately purchased miniatures.

So, if they are out there I would love to hear / see them.

Best!

Hi ArHo,

Hi ArHo,

 

I've never thought about it, but now after quickly going through my collection: I can't find one from 1870!

@Andreas, thank you for sharing your picture!

 

Out of my head I just thought of Wilhelm I of Prussia with his 1813 Iron Cross Prinzengroeße.

 

Kind regards,

Leonard

@dedehansen and @Metallica wow, thank you both für your input, very interesting! I love them both and your answers tell me that I was right to assume these pictures are not easily found.

 

In my collection I have only one possible piece that I would like to discuss with you: I consider this Ek21870 "small" compared to the buttons. What is your opinion?

 

Best!
