1870 ek2

[JamesT]

Good day

I am seeking some assistance please. Is this a Spangenstück or real award?

Many thanks

Looks like a Jubilee piece, circa 1900.

Nice AWS cross, Oakleaves I don't know as I am no expert on leaves.

It's a beautiful AWS, private purchase piece. The Oaks are good.

Great looking AWS!

Thanks folks

So A. Werner & Sohne (AWS) made but private purchase circa 1900 with the correct jubilee oaks.

Many thanks for your comments.

All the best

Perhaps 1895 from my understanding. Painted core.

Thanks everyone.

So my hunt for a original 1870 EK2 continues.

Thanks everyone.

It's a fine original worth money, but not an award piece

Thank you to Dansson for correcting my use of words.

Now what about this one? The jump-ring setup looks much heavier than the others. Is this an award piece?

Thanks again for the time that people have spent helping me.

OK Thanks so another jubilee piece but this time by Steinhauer & Lück. So still looking for an award piece.

Thanks

Do a thread search for " TypeA " you will find plenty of examples to learn
what a awarded cross would look like.

Thank you GregM. I've found and have learned a lot. That was really helpful
