Do you have any thoughts on originality of the cross?  Bar looks good, in my opinion.

Hi Gary B,

 

I registered to bid, but I fear, that the price will exeed the 10 k limit.

 

Kind regards

I agree, the lot will go over 10k, that’s an exceptional bar. I’m no expert, but the EK1 looks legit to me.

Fantastic group, and unfortunately outside of my budget.

 

[Gary B]

Agree it will be an expensive group.  I will at least be watching it to see what it goes for.  One of the best groups I have ever seen.

Pretty spectacular group. Interesting that the EK1 is a posthumous award. I think the bar was produced much later, perhaps 20 years after his death. I would like to see detailed photos of the Schwerter-Kreuze.

Final bid on the lot from what I can see was 23.500 Euro! Yikes!!

Just slightly out of my price range.
