Need help! EK I

[atcampos1]

Hi all,


I have this EK I in my collection.

It is marked J16 (I do not know the maker) and it has the magnetic core as expected.

Could you, please, give me your opinions about it?

Thanks and best regards,


Alex.

While this type is heavily faked, I believe it's an original Third Reich produced Steinhauer & Lück marked L/16.

Hi Dansson,


Thanks for your post.

Is is a Third Reich EK I and L/16?

It seems a WWI one marked J16 to me but I am not an expert on German crosses so if my question is naive, please, take this into account.

Best regards,


Alex.

Hi,

this cross is for WW1 merits, but a replacement made during the WW2. These L/ (LDO) markings were used since 1941
