Hey guys,
What do you think of these crosses?

Thanks!!!!

Looks like just one cross, right?

Seems good from the photo, an Imperial EK2. Value about $50-60 for this particular one.

Looks like a good cross but there could be a problem if the reverse date is really 1815......

[muddinman04]

I'm sure it's 1915

I am just using the pictures he sent me.

I thought he had another one, but I guess I was mistaken.

What Adrian is saying is, the rear part of the core should say 1813, not 1815. The front date should be 1914.

Shows how much I know about these

Looking at this cross is like trying to read Chinese for me!!

Thanks for straightening me out!

There is lots of good info here on these forums for beginners! Check it out by using the search ability. You can narrow it down by selecting to search in the Imperial Militaria Forum.

That is a link for Imperial 1914 crosses and what each makers should look like. There are many subtle differences and it can be overwhelming to a new collector, believe me, I know hahaha.

Anyhow, good luck and hope to see ya around.

Ryan,

Thank you very much for the link. I usually do use the search function for things like this, but I wanted to start this thread publicly as the seller is just as knowledgeable about this cross as I am. I sent him a link to this thread so he knows what he has as well.

I have devoted a lot of time to collecting WWII firearms and not enough time to other militaria like this. All I know is to come to you guys with my questions before I even think of purchasing something like this.

Thanks again!!
