EK 1939 1939 EK2

Hi there,

Here is my 2nd class Iron Cross with original ribbon (no glow). It is magnetic and has veining under the black paint. Overall, I'd say its in good shape. It is unmarked (as far as I can see) and I was wondering if anybody knew the maker of it.

Thanks,

Pat

Here is the back of the Ek2, also it is three-piece construction.

This one looks original to me, anybody else have any comments on its originality? I am pretty confident in it, but I would like some advice.

Thanks, Pat

Hi Pat. Looks good. Can't say I know the maker off hand.

Thanks Darrell,

This cross came from a U-boat Kriegsmarine vet and the gentleman I purchased it from has sold his U-boat Clasp and U-boat badge to another collector in Vancouver. I will try to get his name from him and maybe some more info as soon as I can remember to ask him! As for maker, it is indeed very hard to identify it, so kudos to anyone who can. One more note, the ribbon is in exceptionally good shape and the cross was stored very well (I assume the veining came from time at sea).

Cheers,

Pat

Hello

A very nice, original cross. In my opinion this EK is by S.Jablonski Gmb H, manufacturer '128'.

Thanks for the input David

I wonder if you or someone else has one by this maker to post and compare details with mine? This would be great to see what details would lean it towards being this maker.

Thanks again for your help David,
