1870 EK2 Trapezoid Bar

[Brian R]

Well, I was hanging out with Trevor last Saturday... his enthusiam for the Imperial EK got me excited about my own crosses. I have been on such a WWII EK document kick lately that I have been neglecting my pre-WWII EKs for some time. I have a few nice ones to post that I haven't shown before...

The first, although not an actual EK, is this pre-1915 Officer's Bar (probably pre-1895).

Iron Cross 2nd Class 1870 (with miniature)
Prussian Order of The Crown with Swords
Prussian Long Service Award
1870/71 KDM
1866 KDM

Cool Bar
Is the mini Ek a 1870 or 1914?

[Brian R]

Mini 1870!!!

Although lousy, here's a quick scan...

Very nice, Brian. I hope you show your 1870 EKs.

I used to own this one, and I lost it in a move, or something, which really sucks. I do hope one day it will turn up somewhere.



Love to see the reverse of the bar, too.

Here's another mini...

Nice Brian,

Looks almost a match to the cross on my missing stickpin.
