My Best 2010 - Early 1813 EK II!!!

[Dansson]

That multi-piece is to die for! I'm next in line, if you decide to pass it on some day in the future

I was very fortunate to get a second opportunity to own this superb attributed early 1813 EKII. Am extremely pleased to have obtained it. Thought I would share some close-ups of how the 12 pieces of the rim (each side) were soldered together, and then soldered to the frame. Some quick views taken with my phone, but will dig out my Nikon one of these days.

Mike created a nice bio of von Düring and presented it in his great book.

I understand there is information on von Düring (as well as the drawing of him presented on this thread) in Kurt von Priesdorff's Soldatisches Führerturm, Band 5. Before I obtain a copy of that volume I was hoping to confirm that is where the drawing came from. If someone could help me out I would appreciate it.

Perhaps we could have a late 207th Birthday at a "Club meeting"?

when was last "Club meeting", ... wondering who is still in....

Awesome cross!

Wonderful addition, hard to upgrade and with provenance extremely rare.

Sounds like a good idea, you guys can start it, I need to take a new picture....

Here is the monument for the Battle of Dennewitz, where von Düring earned his EK. Where Napoleon's drive to capture Berlin was halted, and the Bavarians were knocked out of the war. The monument was designed by Schinkel.

Nice to see it is still there.
