What are your thoughts about the engraved 800 cross and the Godet Berlin markd EK1?
Here is one of my EK award groups I have never posted anywhere. This group belongs to a Gefreite Renner of 1st Co. 27th Pioneer BN. EK2 awarded 5 Nov 1915 and EK1 19 Nov 1918. I didnt get his wound badge document with this group unfortunately but it came with an interesting C.E. Juncker packet. Maybe from the EK ribbon bar whitch is marked DRP? The cross is vaulted screwback unmarked unlike others with Victoria DRGM or something like this. The EK2 is a nice KO.
I tend to agree with thisHi mate, i see your point but you never know what happened and what's the story that brought these pieces as a set. It's up to you, but personally i leave them as i find them.
I was told on another forum that this was probably done with a modern machine and that it doesnt fit accepted engraving styles of that time.What is the problem with the engraving? You have been told that it was made recently and not in 1918?
Lee,
You're posting some great looking crosses.
I wish I could give you a definite or on the engraved
piece but I am just not sure. To me, it looks machine done but WHEN?
Same with the Godet makers mark--I am not really 100% on it. I am
about 95% sure it's OK but it's the only one I have seen that looks like
the "G" and "B" are in a incursed box.
Hopefully some others with a bit more knowledge on these will join
the conversation.
