1939 Eisernes Kreuz 1 Steinhauer & Luck marked 4

[Anzel]

Hello gentlemen. Any opinions on this one? I will have a few more pictures soon.

[Anzel]

My concern and reason for bringing it here is the beading issues it seems to have or acquired over time. The pin and catch set up look consistent with Steinhaur & Luck.

The beading looks fine. There is evidence of die wear and a die flaw running along the beading on the bottom arm of the cross but this is common on EKs.

looks fine to me.

Thanks guys! Good to hear it is a real one.

agreed, textbook S&L cross. These have a very specific alloy catch on them.
