    1870 EK1 in Prinzen

    First off, I must apologize for the poor scan quality of the images. My scanner has been acting up. Perhaps my dear friend and fellow Forumite Tim Calvert will volunteer his help (VERY BROAD HINT) and I can replace these images with better ones.

    This example is very worn. The definition of the crown and 1870 is quite sharp. Beading is very detailed but shows quite a bit of wear and tear. The core is stepped. On the reverse: J. Wagner & S. 14 Lo"th. Pin is round. I had an extremely tough time trying to capture the hallmark, as the pin only opens to about 125 degrees, so image is blurry and a failure.


    The cross measures approx. 33mm (I'm not the type to carry around caliphers, but I probably should).

    All in all a nice example of a rare piece of history.

    Nice one. Did this come off eBay recently? If it's the one I'm thinking of, it went for a decent price.

    I'm sure the cross is a good Wagner piece. It's hard to see from the photo, but any chance the pin and catch were repaired or replaced at some time?

    Again, great prinzen.

      The hinge is torqued a bit on the right side from wear and tear. Other than that, it's fine!

      I'll try to replace the above pics with better ones later.

          --Very, very nice. Please do get Tim to get some close-ups. I am extremely interested in seeing the detail of the core as well as the Wagner stamp.
