Hi all,
Im surprised there isnt a topic called like this yet? Well, if I may, Ill let my tired Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse feel proud once more, by opening it. Feel free to have lotsa crosses join it!
No makersmark, a tired hinge, traces of age all around, YES, this cross went around the block. The ageing also makes it VERY lovely, I like that kinda thing. Also, this cross, has a copper'ish yellow'ish glow over it? Is that brass?
Enjoy,
Karin-Renate

Very stunning EKI, seems to me it's slight vaulted or is this a picture effect?
Sincerely,
Ricardo

Hi Ricardo  Thanx for the compliment! Yes, its vaulted, not, like, really domed? But slightly vaulted. And, that hinge, is a little bit busted? But still works. Sincerely, Karin-Renate

I'm with you on seeing beauty in aged, been there kind of stuff and think it's far more appealing than a new-like and mint example.JMO

I have two but only one counts for this thread.  --dj--Joe 930 silver stamp on the smaller one. The L/12 screwback is a 3rd. reich era piece.

Very nice cross too Joe. Is very interesting the format comparation between WWI and 3rd Reich era crosses.
Regards,
Ricardo

Joe,
Here's another ... vaulted, with a bit of spidering to the paint and stamped 800.
Best regards!

Here's my only example, the rear and pin are marked 800, a vaulted example in it's case. No makers number that I can see.

Anyone know if the 1870 EK 1st class was made with a non-magnetic core?
