1914 Iron Cross

**guns ltd** · 09-13-2014, 07:51 PM

I have seen a number of these 1914 EK's and was wondering about this one. The engraving looks a bit odd to me.
I need your Opinions on this one. It is coming up for auction.
Thanks,
John

I like this cross...Apparently from one officer to another (Meincke?), In remembrance of our shared combat in the west, Neumann, Leutnant Infantry Regt 176 Nov.1918...
cheers, Glenn

Good cross. Engraving is always hard to authenticate but I
would buy this one myself. The style looks right as does the
age and wear but you can never know for sure.

Nice cross, correct style engraving, just the core looks repainted. Look how the thin layer of paint cracked at the frame border on 9 o´clock arm left.
