A brass core Eisernes Kreuz Klasse 1 made by Wächtler & Lange

[BlitzC]

Bought from Emedals, the EK1 is made of brass core, without mark, block barrel hinge, thick flat catch on the back. By studying the book “The Iron Cross 1. Class” written by Dietrich Maerz and George Stimson, I take this is a typical W & L unmagnetic type EK1.

yes a good W&L with brass core and with 1 type frame but plate with hook
