This is a Balkenkreuz with the straight arms...
Never heard of a Lug variant...

A lug variant is where there is a "lump" at the top where the jump ring is attached.

I do believe he is talking about unknown makers of Eisernes Kreuz and the terms used to describe them Glenn.by bigmacglenn1966

yes ralph I saw a couple of crosses advertised one was described as the straight arm variant and the other was the LUG,
The Lug-variant has a hump on top of the frame, where the suspension ring is attached. Several makers show this feature; such as Juncker, W&L ... and of course the Lug-variant (in case the hersteller is unknown) itself.
"Straight arm" refers to the beading edge, which is less curved than that of a normal EK.

thanks nick,,
Would 'straight arm' refer to the Shinkel type EKII,
or is that something entirely different.........?

Steve.
It's not a Schinkel B, although they do have straight arms as well. See here for an older thread Adrian started.
