Very nice! These are very rare, especially in that condition.

Nice to see one with the ring still attached. The last two I have
seen had the small ring broken off.

Nice cross

[Mark Holmes]

WOW . Absolutely stunning detail on the cross . See the detail of the stem on the oakleaf and the crown. Never seen that amount of detail before.
Well done on such a nice find...

I have a 1914 EK1 that is a one piece all brass construction. I like it but that EK2 is really sweet. The detail is sharp. Wish I could come across one myself.

Real nice piece Bob! Outstanding detail. I really like these off the beaten trail pieces! Thankx for showing it.

Hi there,

I have two EK2 just like the one Bob posted here - I picked them up in Paris about three years ago. Those two were actually my first EK2 before I started to read up on them, and initially I thought that they were fakes!

Am I correct in thinking that they are late/ early post-war pieces stamped out of brass for late post-war bestowals for mebers of the Freikorps etc.?

Does anyone have more info on these?

After getting my first three piece constructed EK, I thought to sell them off - but I decided to keep them, because the detail on them is just incredible. Glad I did.

Cheers
Thorsten

My brass one piece EK1 has been identified as a piece from the 1930's so that theory could be correct.

That is a fine looking EK2 regardless of the period!
