Little bit more about this cross EK I , ws 900

[Green]

I have placed this cross in the wrong section (wwII) so they told me, so again I hope now in the right section?
I want to know al little bit more about this cross:

- is it special or just common?
- condition
- made in wwI or wwII

Hi,

Nice cross! Has been cleaned. Maybe a SW. Ww1 vintage IMO.
It is not that rare... but very, very, very (did I say very?) nice.

Best regards,
Michel

As Michel said "Nice cross"

Wagner and Sohn's made cross that has been polished.
Not rare but somewhat hard to find with the 900 silver stamp.
Probably private purchase as opposed to "awarded".

I would guess at late ww1 or just after.

Thanks, for your reactions, I appreciate it!


I didn´t polish it myself. But I don´t mind. It shows the fine craftsmanship at that time.

In my opinion it's a nice early Wagner -- not the very first type they made in the war (1914) but maybe the second (1915).
