I have been offered an Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse. HELP!!
Hello all, i am new to these forums. I have been on the look out for an EK1 for sometime now and i believe i have found a good candidate for my collection. I got into contact with an ebay seller who had his postings removed and i contacted him right after to see if he had any more items for sale. He had this ek 1 and based on the pictures i am at a 50/50 chance of a good one.
Based of the pictures i am unsure because it is un marked and the latch is a different color to the frame. He informed me the medal was indeed magnetic and has had it for 40+ years. He believes its a 3 piece construction and i believe it is based on the photo i have of the latch hook. There is a seam i believe i can see to the right of the picture right where the 2 frames would meet but i would feel better receiving opinions from more experienced collectors.
Any opinions would be much appreciated, thank you guys!
