    Good cross. The sand cast core indicates an early
    issue cross. The core details are common to many makers
    however your cross appears to be stamped on the big ring.
    That might tell use who the maker is or give us the silver
    content of the frame. A close up of the stamped ring would
    be helpful.

    The frame details are still good so there is the possibility that
    with time we can match it to a known maker. Unfortunately
    I do not have time this week to take on that task.

    I was addicted to the "Hokey-Pokey" but I've turned
    myself around.

    I see a stamp on the ring, I can't make it out, I took the closest pictures I could without it getting blurry but maybe someone else can make it out. WWI German Iron Cross 2nd classWWI German Iron Cross 2nd class

    Going by the above pics, it looks like the maker of
    this Iron Cross is 'K.A.G.'

    thanson, a lovely EK II as Gregg states a super early sand cast core which makes for a classic iconic look....."K.A.G." is a known mark but sadly an unknown maker ! Do not be lured into cleaning the piece you will take away all the history and ruin the cross IMO.
    Thanks for showing...........
    Prost ! Steve.

    thanks for the info and advise, I don't clean or polish anything I aquire...I am always more worried about damaging a piece by cleaning it.
