Eisernes Kreuz WW1 & WW2

I have a nice set of crosses; the one from WWI is nicely marked. The one from WW2 is not marked but it came from the same collection. The old vet moved to nursing home and I was lucky enough to know him. What do you guys think ?

thanks in advance for any posts..... JW

They both look good, but the WWII cross has the incorrect ribbon.

The 1914 looks to be marked "R". Which might be for Alfred Rosner.
It is a fairly uncommon maker.

I can not be of much help with the 1939 other than to say
that the ribbon is wrong. The ribbon is for a Hinderburg medal.

Thanks guys, you knowledge is irreplaceable. What would the value be for the two?

I agree. The TR cross is a Wachtler & Lange in poor (by their standards) condition and with a repainted core and incorrect ribbon.
This is a common maker whose products can be found in near mint condition and therefore this example will have a low value by comparison due to the repaint and overall poor look.
