1914 Eisernes Kreuz 2 Klasse Ring Stamped K.A.G

[Wilko]

It's here!
My new Imperial Eisernes Kreuz 2 Klasse. It has a clear makers mark of K.A.G. and I am hoping that my research is correct in the maker. After looking around the many pages on the internet I came up with 2 lists of EK's that put this maker as Kunst und Aktien-Gesellschaft which translates as Art and stock Company.

Most lists say that this mark is an unknown maker so I am now feeling certain that this is an unknown maker but who knows.

Still it's a really good looking EK that came with a nice pin backed ribbon bar. This is my 17th Imperial EK, the addiction continues.

Thank you Al, I have been watching you're collection grow and grow. You have a very impressive collection now.

At the moment I don't have a display area, it is something that I am planning on in the future but at the moment they are sitting and waiting. I was lucky enough to acquire 3 nice aluminium cases and they work for me at the moment.

Anyway here is a pic of my 17 Imperial EK's to date.

That's a nice cross and a great addition to your collection.
To the best of my limited knowledge, KAG is still an unknown maker.

I don't have a display area either. I've got three glass top wood boxes that very
seldom ever see the light of day.

Thank you Greg, I am really enjoying these Imperial EK's. Already looking for the next one.

Ken,

What a nice addition and I love your iron cross layout with the labels. I'm still in the process of trying to display my collection to my liking. Currently, I have glass covered racks which like Greg, are tucked away from sunlight. I'm very impressed with your collection and I'm glad you have the passion!

Sorry, but no evidence, that a maker with this name has existed at all As Chopperman said, K.A.G. manufacturer remains still unknown... but his crosses are nice and not so common (also EK 1st Class with K.A.G. marking exist).

KAG 1st class crosses are somewhat common. I like them because they
have a very distinctive looking pin.
