EK 1914 1914 L/12 TR

[ekhunter]

Detlev had a 1914 1st class marked L/12 and made during the Third Reich that sold this morning. It was Sweet! Once again I overslept.

I've seen it......600? I don't have a Juncker EK in my collection,but I wouldn't spend so much money for a '39 EK!

That's a lot of money now, but since you just don't ever see these, then what will one have to pay if one becomes available in say 5 years? I don't know. They obviously don't last too long when offered at that price. I once said I would never pay over $100.00 for a nice uncased 1st class (TR or Imperial). Unfortunately I passed on a lot of great medals in the 80's that would cost at least twice as much as that now. I don't have one (Junker) either, as these are rare birds, and would really like to have one, especially in that good of shape. I guess it boils down to how bad you want something. Anyway, the search continues! Good to hear from ya! Russel

Joe, I was actually looking at the one from Detlev and then went back and looked at your 1914 L/12. I probably should have posted this thread in the other Iron Cross Section. I love yours, and I started actually talking about how much I like yours, forgetting it was yours. Got a newborn at home, still in Zombie mode. Long night last night! Anyway, these are rare!

I remember when I started out in Imperial and went to the few Max shows in Baltimore MD (that should date me) I was buying pinback EK1s for $80 and screwbacks were $100, maybe $125 for a really nice one. My Victoria DRGM screwback was only $80 because the threads were worn out. This is when I got the majority of my EK1s and EK2s. I remember seeing a guy with a huge wire ring that must have had 200 EK2s on it. No ribbons, but they were $15 each. Times have changed and we will surely never see that again.

How true! You must be talking about early 80's. I had a chance once to buy a box full of 2nd classes, no ribbons, at $20 a pop, must have been 100 in there. I was mostly into Lugers then and passed. Stupid me. The prices on the rarer crosses have gone through the roof. Crazy field we are in, rare to find a steal anymore, but sometimes! However, I think these are the best times because of the Internet, it is like a show everyday, unfortunately, you got to pay to play.
