Eisernes Kreuz 1st class for review

[UK Cousin]

I've had this one for about 2 years sitting in a drawer. Its a bit beat up but would still like opinions as to the maker and authenticity etc.. Thank you all once again.. Darren

I would say from those two pictures that its original EK1 and it seems that maker is Carl Friedrich Zimmermann, Pforzheim.

Thank you very much.

[Nick Hessens]

Good C.F. Zimmermann indeed. Have you checked the inside of the pin for any markings?

Regards,
Nick

[UK Cousin]

This is the only marking on the pin I could see.. Also, I do have the original box.

[Franjo Vuk]

Beautiful set, case is excellent. That is L/52, LDO number of C.F.Zimmermann.
Best regards,

A very nice example of an EKI, I like them a little beat up, it bring the history to life.
