    Curious 1870 EK2 w/Oaks

    Can anyone tell me when this cross might have been produced? It appears to be made in the 1900's to me - possibly 1920's-1930's. In fact, the frame looks similar to TR era frames complete with a hint of frosted beading. Could this be a TR era replacement or museum display piece?

    Nice Jubilee cross by AWS with matching oaks. These were produced with silver frames as well as with silvered alloy ones.

      Any idea when it was made?

        I agree




        Well I think it is hard to estimate when it was done, however for an 1870 AWS a realistic guess would be +/- 15 years from the year 1900.

        However due the Oakleaves (introduced 1895) are are attached already at purchase like that my personal guess is 1895-1900 made EK2. The frame details are too crisp to be post World War 1 in my opinion.

            All I can say for sure, that this piece is offered in AWS catalog from 1908 and already at that moment the price list shows the price for a cross with solid silver frame (RM 8.25) as well as for alloy frame (RM 5).

              Thanks for your responses! I guess it was produced a little earlier than I thought!

              Best,

              Eric

                I have its' twin, and always thought it dated to circa 1900.
