Amazing Prinzen cross Greg!

I will be aiming to buy my first ek1 at an upcoming military show. There were a few nice ones the last time so wish me luck and if I snatch one up I'll make sure to post it here

We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

Here's my only imperial cross at the moment. I wear it everyday. It was silver washed but wearing it has worn the finish off and exposed the brass base, which looks great on my gold chain. The suspension ring was crimped originally but I tweaked it a bit to fit on the chain. I'm sure some of you are cringing . I like it though.

Btw, Pat, I hope you get a good one! Also, I like your new avatar!

Thanks for showing it. I like the picture, nicely done.

Thanks Patrick .
Good luck getting your first-First.
If you have any doubts about one, you can always send me pictures.

Hi guys,

I just bought this EK1 together with a couple of other items .
It is mm K ( not on the "imperial bunker"s mm list for 1class crosses.
It is slightly curved and the iron core shows a very high defined and detailed relief !
Unfortunately it shows a bit of rust, as you can see on the pictures :-/
What do y'all think about it ??

Sorry, I meant to say " Kaiser's bunker"s list of EK mm !!

It appears to be an original vaulted cross..."K" is a legitimate maker, though an obscure one!
cheers, Glenn

Hi Dean,

No worries, it's not the Crown Jewels :-)
I use an original imperial steel belt buckle every day !!!

I believe this is a rare as yet unidentified maker, there are "K" marked EKIIs as well...
I'm hoping Greg/Chopperman will add his opinions...
Here is my EKI...a vaulted period conversion from Screwback to Pinback, marked "800"....I really felt this one had
character, lol....
cheers, Glenn
