ashley58 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hi to all here is a shot of my 1870 EK`s for your enjoyment. I know the type `B` has the wrong band on it but that's how i acquired the cross almost 40 yrs ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Could you post images of the reverses, in particular the EK1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Cornwell Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Ashley, Good selection of nice crisp cores there by the looks of it. Like VtwinVince I would be interested to see the reverse of that EK1. I note that you have so far managed to resist (or avoid) a 1914 bar addition ?

All of us are eager to see closer shots of the EKs and the reverse of 1st Class Also The bar is given only few times and to get an original will be nearly impossible task There are so many fakes of them on the market especially eBay Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Cornwell Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Ashley, Thanks for sharing. That 1870 EK1 is superb. I am most envious. Graf, Agreed, an original bar nigh on impossible to source/afford. But don't we all have duplikats or the best fakes we can find in our collections ? I know I have.
