MY EKs and MINIs

[herrgeezer]

Thank you all for the nice comments It is still a work in progress.

Gerd,
I am sure some of these look very familiar BUT I do think they look a little
better at my house --Thank You my friend!!

David,
The cross you asked about is "The merit cross for ladies and young ladies."
It was designed by Queen Augusta to honor some of those who helped care
for the sick and wounded of the Franco-Prussian War. There were a total
of 2,992 of these awarded in 1871. These are not actually an Iron Cross
but they are still COOL and the quality and workmanship in these crosses is
OUTSTANDING.

Thanks Greg. Would love to see a close up if you have another photo session.

EKman,
Here is a shot of the screwbacks. The scanner distorted the shape of them
slightly.

Here is a closer shot of the womans cross. The back of the cross shows some
damage to the enameling.
