Eisernes Kreuz 1.Klasse, Otto Schickle - Pin back L/15

[Martin3]

Hi,

This one landed yesterday. Very happy with it, it is my first Schickle EK1. I hope many more variations will cross my path, when financial resources allow it again.
Hope you enjoy the pics! Not the best lighting, but I did my best.

Enjoy your weekend,
Martin

Very nice Martin, a good example of a Schickle. Most seen are very tatty in the core due to the paint loss. But if you get a brass cored one with paint loss, it can sometimes look awesome...

Nice find Martin, a good example. It the core magnetic or zinc?

Thanks Gentleman!

Adrian, the core is iron, according to my pen magnet.
I hope to find a brass and / ore zinc core in future, but it was a great month with a few very nice items so that has to wait a little. by the time it is Christmas I think I can tickle me again with a new cross. Ben has reserved a cased one for me!

Best wishes,
Martin
