Thoughts of my Eisernes kreuz 2. klasse

[Nima]

Hi, my first german ww1 purchase which is an ordensspange with Eisernes kreuz 2. klasse and hindenburg cross arrived today.
So my question is, what do you guys think about the authenticity of the Eisernes kreuz 2. klasse? The cross is marked KO which I know is a known maker.
And really any information will be useful cause I am new to the hobby.

Thank you in advance

Best regards
Nicklas

Hi Nicklas.
It's certainly not my speciality, but it looks great

It will be better, in any case, to wait for the opinion of one of the specialists in Iron Crosses 1914. And welcome by the way

It's a nice one, from a major producer, but still desirable with the marked ring.

Thank you both for your reply. Just wanted to be sure and interested to hear others opinions.

Congrats on your first

KO was the mark for Klein of Oberstein which became Klein and Quenzer.
They were the most prolific of the iron cross makers and are though to have
been the main supplier of awarded crosses.

IMO ever iron cross collection should have a KO cross in it representing actual awarded
crosses vs. private purchase crosses.

Nima,

I congratulate you on your first cross as well! They are incredibly interesting to collect and we all tend to not stop with one....

Cheers,

Thank you very much, appreciate all the comments.

No worries my plan is not to have only one of these in my growing collection
