joe campbell Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) MM. this, on careful(20X) inspection, is NOT an Fr. ,although it looks a great deal like it.thanks christian!joe Edited May 19, 2006 by joe campbell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Murphy Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Joe,Nice one. I have not seen that maker before. One of the nice things about imperial EK2s, you could probably have 178 variations and still not have them all. 78? Looks I need to play some catch up before all the good ones are gone.

joe campbell Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 thank you, gentlemen!based on tony's MM list (i can't give him properreference, as i can't remember his site name - any help?),i started looking....and found...and found...and found...these variations include different styles by the samemanufacturer, as well as different locations on the cross itself.keeps me ever on the hunt, but dan is correct. there's probably hundreds,and paul is correct: i'll die LONG before i find the last one... joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Garvy Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) Here is the link to the list of manufacturers of the Iron Cross in 2nd Class, 1914: "click here". "Pr" is listed as an "unknown maker", and you're right, Joe, it looks like an "Fr" to me. I'll take your word for it, and add this one to my wish list. . .
