Eric Stahlhut Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) i was going to throw on a couple of werners to accompany graf's op cross, but during my search i found this one-piece, nonmagnetic ugly duckling: on this petz & lorenz, the rub marks on the reverse of the cross actually match up with the replacement cruciform backing plate Edited January 22, 2022 by Eric Stahlhut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 another ww2 US cap badge backing plate used as the replacement backing plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graf Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hi Erick, As requested -additional pictures 1 to 3 The last picture the EK is with the original lock system I assume the lock system was lost or broken and was replaced at one stage with the "new" one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) yes, i recognized it. this is only the third example i've ever encountered of that type in any condition. the rarest! too bad it seems to lack the incused crown/moon/800 hallmark. thank you for the additional pictures!

v.Perlet Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Haven't been to evilbay for many years - but found this EK1. Though no markings, but is has this "drilled" hole through the back plate instead of these usual weld/soldered on pins, that always make me feel uncomfortable. The 1870 EK1 is a poor fake in my opinion and it seems that 1870 iron crosses are on the rise at evilbay. Regards v.Perlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perlet-- nothing wrong with that clamshell hello Eric Stahlhut, yes one IMHO, of the very, very few authentic 1914 EK I's - why you want to sell it/ got so many??
