Hi Peter,

i´d love to see all those Crosses of Liberty

[Giel VW]

Damn, I really can watch this for hours!

[Peter J.]

Here you go Hans. First up are the civilian 2nd. 3rd and 4th class. The 4th class is marked MWM.
Followed by the military 4th class in two different versions and a superb 2nd class, which is marked a standing triangle, another triangle with a crown it it, a rectangle with 916H, a rectangle with a long-ship and the yearmark X6.
The last four crosses are from different chains and ribbon bars.
It's interesting to see the vast difference in manufacture i.g. enameled, steel coloured, flat reverse, curved reverse, riveted roses and difference in size. The one with the oakleaf-cluster also has rounded ends to the cross arms.

Nice crosses Peter An outstanding 2 class you got there


Could you show some close-ups on the makermarks?

[Gerd Becker]

I really like the finnish style of wearing minis on a chain with a piece of ribbon.

Peter, very nice, thanks for sharing

Peter,

Beautiful medals one and all.

Not the most exciting, but could I please see a close up of the 1939 EKII. I've never seen one in miniature.

Thanks much.

Hi Jim.

I knew it . Out of all these minis, there are two I don't believe in (the P/O and the 18 year LS) and two substitutes to fit the ribbonbars (kvk 57) and the one you picked. It's a 1914 cross with the correct ribbon, sorry . So if you ever stumble into one, you know where you can send it

Hi Peter,

I wasn't questioning it, I just wanted to look at it.

Do you think it's fake?? It would be an unusual thing to fake wouldn't it?? I would have thought it would just be a private purchase type of item. I'd still like to see it if you have time.

Thanks.

[Peter J.]

Hi Jim.

Of course you can see it. I just thought it was typical that you managed to pick one of the substitutes . This EK2 is probably made in bronze and came with a black woundbadge 1918 on a chain in a terrible condition. I used it as a substitude for a 1939 EK2 and added some colour to the core, while waiting for the real thing to show up. It's 16.3mm with great details. I also enclose a shot of two other EK:s, one with the same measures and one 14.3mm.

Fantastic taste with your display mate, don't have to mention that you have SUPER nice collection of minis

You need to add a gold WB mini though! (just kidding)

[Peter J.]
