New addition: Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse - Variant 8
Hi All,
So happy this one was offered to me this week — totally unexpected!
Thanks to Nick for the offer, and thank you, Ben, for connecting me!
I don't think both gentlemen are members over here, but I do not want to show off like: 'Look what I hunted down!' Simply good collecting friends/guys helping a poor and lonesome EK collector. How good is that?
This one was on my want list for quite some time. Several Variant 8's are to be found when entering a Google search, but I only kept finding old offers, sold long ago.
At last I can examine one in hand!
Not the best pictures, but I hope you get the idea.
Also not the most handsome cross, but an absolute beauty in its own rare way! Just like me, by the way!
Enjoy the pics and enjoy your weekend,
Martin
(Hope I did not mix up pictures, I made a bit of a mess in the database...)
Variant 8 is the former term for this cross. According to current knowledge, the manufacturer is Assmann & Söhne (PKZ 35). A very characteristic cross available in two frame variants.

Thanks, Robert! So I can safely call it an Assmann without being accused of spreading rumors and fake news. Off to find an Assmann issue envelope to compile a set! Not an easy quest, but not impossible.
Heeee Nick! You are a member over here! I didn't know but I am the newbie over here, I still have to learn a lot, hahaha! I should have known, your distinctive Gespenst avatar I have seen many times. Thanks for the great deal, I am very happy with the cross.
