Looking to buy Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse, what are your opinions of these?

[MD Helmets]

I'll take the Deschler any day !

I'm just partial to the K&Q, my first EKI was a cased 65.

$500 is way too much. I know of a nice non magnetic EKI for sale lol

[harryamb2]

nice EKs but not at that price.

[timpe]

$500 for an uncased EKI is ROBBERY

I agree!!

Thank you guys, I tried getting the price down, even though those were boxed still I think they were over priced. I've found a few more for less, they seem to be authentic, what would your opinions be of these, leaning towards the L/15 (as its boxed too):

L/10 EKI

Since you are posting multiple EK's, I have moved this thread to the discussions section. If you wish to post the one you decide on, please do post it in the Awards and Decorations forum. We prefer not to have more than one posted at a time there as it makes the thread confusing as a reference at a later date.
Thank you,
Ralph.

[Andrei]

Thank you for moving it, my apologies for the mixup.

Thank you for moving it, my apologies for the mixup.

Not a problem, it's what I am here for.

L/10: looks good

L/51 or 51: fake cast, not a mm found on the EK1

L15 marked Souval/Orth crosses: considered post war, see here.

Regards,
Nick
