Not to be rude, but how much should I expect to pay for a decent period made 1813 and a late 1830-1835 made EK II?
I would love to add a 1813 and a 1870 EK II to my little EK collection.
I really like all the Nice crosses you have shown in this thread.

Hi Flemming,
It's not rude to ask; these things cost money.
Prices vary a lot. For a very good 1813 EK2 you can expect to pay about €2500. But sometimes on eBay you can find one for €750 or less, and from some dealers you can expect to pay €5000 or more. There are a lot of different types of 1813 EK2s, and prices usually fall within this range from early --> late.
For a good, Type A (award-period) 1870 EK2, you can expect to pay €400 for a later one or an example in rough condition, all the way to €900 for an excellent piece, sometimes with oakleaves. Type B 1870 EK2s are slightly less valued, although they're slightly less common also.Best regards,
Streptile

Hi Trevor
Thank you for your kind answer. Now to save up some money, and convince the wife that I "need" a EK II in at that price range
Have a nice weekend.

I once had a beat up 1813 cross where loop and ring were broke off and frame was split along the top edge. Sold it for $300.00cdn but that was way back before the internet. Wish I had of kept it now as well as my 1914-1957 collection of EKI's and II's. Just had one example of each though. EK's back then could be picked up anywhere from 25 to 50 bucksComment

Greg,
No need to apologize -- That is an outstanding cross and this is
the thread to show it off in.Comment

This thread is a treat to look at over and over again. Truly lovely examples of the 'original' Iron Cross. It doesn't get any better than that to a hard core EK enthusiast.

1813 Prinzen are all in different sizes due to hand filing but look for the '17-18 scrunched bead' on those full size frames.Originally posted by Montgomery Burns View Post
see this thread: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=468845
If the full size do not have the '17-18 scrunched bead', then we can at least take one Prinzen frame out of the equation. All 1813 Prinzen i saw so far got the scrunched bead but that doesn't mean there could be more versions out there.Comment
