hi members
i found this africa grooping bought a few years back house sale dont know what the large round pin back represents has camel large palm tree and is made of brass . the campagn ring reads oran africa 1943 it is nickled on brass the medal is german/italian comradship nice africa grooping . now as dak41 mentioned about rings with european gold content marks like 575 european gold. i have had this very unusual iron cros pin back marked 585 and number 14 on the inside bottom of the cross i dont know why its marked 585 as it is not gold but solid brass no outher collector seems to know anything about this cross and its metal content. in my opinion this cross was for sea duty as brass does not rust when i tell people this is a very rare version of the iron cross pin back and naval crosses are rare . maybe some one here would know more about this cross .hope you guys enjoy this grooping last check my web site www.militarynut.com to see a very nice ss honor ring god bless andy militarynut
