Hey that's great guys, thanks for all the info, made my day for sure! Should/can I clean the iron cross? There's a bit of rust around it and I would like to get rid of that but I know that with most things it's often best to leave them be rather than risk destroying the patina. Thanks again-

Dont clean.. It is very nice as it is. Just my opinion.

No, please don't clean it. The patina is part of the cross's history and removing it is not recommended. You will end up with a cleaned EK and regret it. Just store the cross in an enviroment where the rust won't get worse.

I think Cannonman meant "what is mine?" in relation to his Iron Cross. He knows there are different classes and therefore "what is his example?" .......... "not what is a mine?"

my mistake, man I have got to get new glasses, sorry about that. my mistake. it was late & I was tired I thought there was an a in there
