Eisernes Kreuz II Klasse, maker KO

[Iron Hussar]

Hi all,

Postman gave me a dirty look today, given he's had to climb my stairs every day the past week Just got this delivered, very clean "Königliches Münzamt Orden" mark on the ring. Hopefully it's a good one, and I'm getting better at spotting these

Cheers!

Nice condition for KO cross. Congrats.
Koenigliches Muenzamt being KO maker is long dead theory. More feasible looks Klein, Oberstein.

Thanks Miro, I will update my makers list for future reference. I'm always amazed by how nicely the frames age, they are made very well.

a fine looking EK2.

Good looking cross.
KO crosses are the most commonly found makers marked cross
and some believe them to be the most common awarded cross.
Every good EK collection should have at least one.
