My very first Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse, maker 100

[Reich]

Hi guys,

Just wanted to show my very first Eisernes Kreuz 2. It's actually what got me into collecting!

Opinions? As stated in title, maker is 100, Wachtler & Lange.











Thanks!

A decent example for your first,
likely not your last.
Congrats!
Ralph.

Congratulations. That's a nice example and aside from the ring marking the cross is readily identifiable as a W&L through the observable manufacturing characteristics.

Regards,
Stu

A nice W&L

Thanks guy

By the way how can you tell that it is a W&L simply by looking at manufacturing characteristics?

Nice, 100 was my first also. Careful you might get the EK fever. (I did)

You will always remember your first It will have a special place in your collection

There is a characteristic 'scrunch bead' on the lower right side of the 12 o'clock arm.
