Iron Cross Opinion

[juno44]

Hi,

I would like to have your opinions on this Iron Cross Iron, I was told that the plates added are repairs. Has anyone ever seen this before?

Regards, Michel

The cross was originally a Screwback that has been converted to a Pinback...I have one of these conversions in my collection as well...well done, an interesting cross with character!
cheers, Glenn

This is the great thing about this forum i learn something every day, i never knew these conversions existed!....

I like them as they're all unique...especially when it's a quality-workmanship, period conversion such as the one shown...
cheers, Glenn

Very interesting if you can't get a replacement screwback convert it to pin can't help but to think of the reasons why could have been done in the trenches.I have not seen this before thanks for showing both medals.

I'm with Glenn. I like these types of crosses.
Repairs, conversions, damage, all add to the
history of the piece,
