Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse

[toot]

I have an I C 1ST KLASSE that is not magnetic. and it has an odd rounded 3 in the date. the pin is stamped L/17 on it. I am new to collecting, so excuse my ignorance on this subject. I couldn't find any information on this badge. was it made in SCHENKL form? thanks for any information.

Please read this thread regarding posting in this section.

We would be able to help a little more if you post good front and reverse photos.

the computer that I have is a stinking lap top that will not let me post photos of objects. sorry I should have made this aware in my posting of my question. I apologize. I hope some one can still help me with my query?

If it has a rounded 3 in the date and is marked 17, then it is a fake or a post-war mash-up. All rounded 3 iron crosses were unmarked. Here is my 2nd class as an example.

It is thought by some that Deschler made them, all, late war.
