1914 Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse, 800 marked, Carl Dillenius?

[jamie7d7]

Hey all,

I've been a (lucky) busy bee of late and picked up a number of lovely items for my collection, I'll get around to showing them all eventually.

One is this nice looking EK1, with the even nicer looking purple velvet liner for the case.

I was thinking this cross might be a CD (Dillenius) and wondered if others might chime in and help.

Cheers

Very nice Jamie!
You may want to compare it to this example.
Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse, CD, Square Punch.

Very nice CD 800.
Dillenius made crosses are very well made.

That's a nice specimen! And with the case no less. Congratulations.

Jamie,

Another splendid addition! I echo Greg's comment as to Carl Dillenius made crosses as being of better quality.

Congratulations!

Agreed, one of my favourite makers. I have a similar cased example which was part of the estate of a medical officer.
