One of the heaviest and rarest EK II 1914.

[Green]

The search for this cross took me about 4 years. A Petz & Lorenz.....for me one of the rarest crosses in the world. When I weighed it I was surprised by the weight .....31,5 gram!

Thanks you guys......it is nice to read that these crosses are so appreciated

I know there are two variations, in zinc and this one....I believe it is silver plated tombak, but I am not quite sure?

Thank you guys

Very nice find. Congratulations.
31 gms. Wow, that is a really heavyweight.
With the small ring, I assume that it came off a medalbar. Depending on the
other medals, just think how heavy that bar must have been.

Thank you Greg......indeed a real heavyweight. A normal EK II 1914 weighs around 17-18 gr. An one piece Schickle weighs around 22 gr.

The ones I've seen all had a small ring. So indeed I also presume they are made for a medalbar.

Very nice, Green! Congrats on finding it 👍
Certainly an interesting variant.

It’s interesting given the lengths that the official items exhibited in the effort to combine quality materials (as available) with light weight but not at the cost of strength, that a heavy cross worn on a medal bar, which were heavy enough with three pieces forget 4-8! Maybe the market was not so great and hence few are found.
