Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse 1914

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Guys, bought this on impulse at work as it was cheap!

The core has an old crack through it.

The ring is maker marked but is not distinct, may be "EW" ? Can anyone confirm?

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Ade,
It's a nice old cross with a sand cast core but I can't confirm that it's a EW.
At least it does not match any examples that I have on file. I will do some
digging and try to find a match. Is there any way to get a close up of the mark?

For close ups of very small details, sometimes I will scan the cross on my flatbed
document scanner with the resolution set to 300 or more.

I am not 100% confident about this one BUT I am pretty sure that it is
a KAG. I can not match the mark but I think I found a matching cross.

[Chopperman]

The obverser and reverse cores seem to match and the frame beading at the
inner corners on the front side seems to match.

No matter who made it, it's still a nice cross. I like the early cast core crosses.

Thanks Greg. At £22 I could not pass on it.

Cheaper than a beer and takeaway! Nice cross for that money. Leon.
