Eisernes Kreuz II Klasse

Hi! The only page I know with a lot of pictures of EK2´s is this one. Iron Cross 2nd Class
You probably already knew that sight but I add it in case you didn´t know it

Yes, I have seen it. Thanks.

Enni,
How on earth can you tell that is a '5'?

Hi Adrian , probably I can say you why. Please take a look to the packet in the same pic, it 's a fake just meet on the market and it 's marked Wernstein.

The last set is interesting because could be an original set.

I did wonder about that Fabri. I haven't see a Wernstein marked packet before but it would make sense if it's been put with a dodgy EK.
Here is a link to another thread regarding the possible '127': Unknown EK2

These possible "127" are interesting, nice dates, really nice crosses ! Thanks for share.

I know about 3-4 set from this maker, one of them is from a family vet lot, so I think its a very good chance these are from that maker.

i posted a 5 marked ek II some time back and it was labeled a fake,,,now could it have been real???..

No, because the cross is a well known fake that's been stamped '5'.

[militarymania]

so my cross is fake because the "5" doesn't have the small curly end to it?
