Strange Variant EK1. Tin Core?

[Steve Campbell]

Must be extremely late war construction, you think?

The EK1 I have shown? If so, scarce wartime metals may have prompted this, but why haven't we seen more of them?

The 1897 Centennial medal right? The round one with gold color. Actually a pretty hefty medal when you hold it.

But was it made from the bronze of captured cannons?

I think you have to back to the war with Austria for that one Don.

I'm talking about the 1914 crosses struck during the TR. They lack the charactor of the pre TR era crosses IMO. The schinkle crosses look more graceful.

All right Don!!!
