Lets see some EK1s

Awesome cross. If this is your only Ek1, you picked a real beautie.
High silver frame with a nice dark patina. Just enough wear to the core
to highlight the details and the engraving is BEAUTIFUL.

It's nice to see my old thread come back to life. Too bad some many
people chose to remove their pictures from it. There were some great
examples posted .

Thank you Greg, it was my pleasure to add mine to your posting. Perhaps now that the thread has been resurrected, some others will post some of theirs so that many examples can be enjoyed by all.

Hello,

I once owned a cased Friedlander many years ago. I must say that the quality and finish of crosses from this maker is exquisite. Nice layout by the way.

This ones a KMST pin back .

Its the type with the catch lock , but sadly the catch lock has gone AWOL on my example .

[gregM]

Great crosses, guys.

That KMST is a hard to find piece. I'm still looking to add one to my humble colllection.

I have to agree with the comment about the Friedlander. Thay are one
of the nicer quality crosses. Nice silver frames that develope a rich
patina.

Here's mine

Although the engraving doesn't mention a unit or soldier's name, I think the text is quite personal and unusual. My German is not very good, but it translates roughly to:

"Cover the longing in your heart with this cross upon your breast...Thea"

Didn't this one just sell on ebay?
