Re: German Iron Cross 1st Class EK1 + Spange Set OPINIONS PLEASE!
The 1st class spange marked L/15 with the .800 silver mark I would have concerns about. To me it does not even look like it is made of silver?
The other items look OK to me.
Cheers, Ade.

Yes, I had the same concern. I was leary about that one as well--so I did not pay alot for it. The others I had a better feeling about! Thanks for the comment and opinion. Hopefully I will get more!

Thanks Danny! I have had it for years and I STILL cannot pass by it in the case without stopping to stare at it for a minute or so. It just has that 'feel' of being in the middle of the war! I love it.

i dont like any of the spanges or the iron cross,,pin is incorrect shape for Deschker,,it looks like the type of pin on Russian/Europe fake iron crosses i have seen for the past couple of years,also the tips of the cross's arms are rounded,not pointed if you look at the back,,another tell-tale sign of a reproduction,,sorry,,i wouldnt sell this cross as original,,

appreciate the input. You said the fakes of the last couple years. I have had this EK1 for over 10 years. I have also had the spanges for over 8 years or so. I can see the EK1 spange as being questionable (I doubted it myself). I'm not familiar enough with the EK2 spanges to make an opinion on that.

I am interested to find out why you say that the pin is incorrect shape on the Deschler EK1?
I know that some Deschlers can be found with a different pin (the same as found on their KVK1's - see example in the last link posted below) but I believe the cross shown here has the standard Deschler pin.
IMO I still believe excalibr's cross to be an original. Here are a few threads from different forums all of which show Deschler EK1's with identical features to the one posted here.
