Very nice EKI ! appears identical to this one in my collection, except mine has a "Blued" and not painted core, it has NOT been cleaned but is as found (By me). stamped 800 in the same place

So should I start a new thread for the other items? or just use this one?

[Don D.]

Use this one.

I think the 39 spangle is good.... as well as the 39 iron cross and war merit cross but you guys are the experts. I'm suspicious of the Hindenburg. The ribbon bar has the NSDAP long service award in the center and the two side ribbons are? 1st and 2nd world war?

I'll add some better pix of anything if needed.

[Don D.]

Everything looks fine to me.

[gregM]

I don't see any issues with the Hindy and I believe that the
spange is a good Ziemer and Sohn.

The Wilm Ek2 on trifold ribbon is a nice looking cross.

[Jelle M.]

Wow beautiful EK1!

Hi,

the first ribbon is of Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse (War Merit Cross), awarded since 1939. The last one is of Hindenburg Cross (awarded for the WW1, but since 1934).

I believe the WW2 EK1 has a replaced catch and a repair to the hinge. Everything else looks good to me, but you might want to post the WW2 EKs and spange in the cross section just to be safe.

Wow! thanks for the help here! So the ribbon bar: what do the ones on each end represent? And am I right that the center one is NSDAP 10yr.?

thanks, mitch
