    Thanks mate. I'm still jumping hurdles with the book but I'm determined to get there eventually. You'll be first to know!

    Just thought I'd post a recent purchase. I know Greg's seen it before. Private purchase 800 marked vaulted. Inscription translates to "Conceal the longing in your heart with the cross on your breast,...

    Hi Richard, have been out of the country so only just seen this. Couldn't give you a definitive answer on that one. It is a very modern looking pin and hinge construction but the core details and...

    Gordon's book is "The Iron Cross of 1939"
    The publisher's website is Home
    As the title suggests, there's only a brief section on Imperial pieces but it covers all grades of the 1939 award. ...

    Just got back from 10 days holiday. Some great crosses still being shown! I'd agree with Greg. The Iron Time is a good book with plenty of good pictures. Gordon Williamson's book is excellent for...

    £29 is an absolute bargain for such a quality cross, well done mate. Good silver EK2's are so underrated as a collectable. Sold through a dealer who knows his stuff , the fact it's a good maker and a...

    Classic W&S pin set up. I always think these look very stylish and well made. The little waist at the top and the way the hinge is cut into it underneath. Nothing over complicated but suited to a...

    Beautiful crosses. Look at the oakleaves on the Zeich marked cross of Richard's. The crispness of the detailing on the 1870 is superb. I just can't get over the need to collect these things.

    That's interesting Richard. I can understand your interest in K&Q stuff. I never knew they produced belt buckles. It's the overall quality and style that appeals to me. The frosted black finish on a...

    I started out years ago with TR EK's and thought I'd get a couple of those old WW1 crosses just for the sake of completion! The first time I handled a vaulted silver imperial EK1 I was sold. Now they...

    They are a beautifully made cross. There was a nice G 800 marked one on ebay recently that I missed. I love CD 800 pieces too. Haven't got a picture to hand but the core details on both classes are...

    I've not seen a KO screw back either Greg. I wouldn't say that there wasn't such a thing but I'm not overly happy with this one. The rayback looks poor quality. The back of the cross seems to be...
