1870 EK1, B core

[Dansson]

First of I want to thank Miro and Trevor for helping me in the decision to purchase this long dream of mine, an 1870 EK1. It's a good B core with a very Lemcke like thick pin.

Hope you like it as much as I do

This is absolutely amazing! Congratulations. Does anyone know how many EK1s and EK2s were awarded for the Franco-Prussian War?

[Dansson]

Thank you
I'm very satisfied to finally have one.


Your question.
From my outer memory:
1870 EK1 ~ 1390
1870 EK2 ~ 47 000

[Dansson]

Thank you Greg and ddbinks!
There's still some climbing to become a "Grand-Master" of the club.

Wauw.... a beautiful cross and in such a fine condition.
One of my dream crosses too! Glad you realized it know.... congratulations

I am not a clubmember type, so I'd rather stay the outsider...as you can notice here in this forum

Very nice cross!

I don't remember if we ever had a "meeting" of 1870 ek1 club, wonder how many of them out there.

Thank you!

Well it could be a done next year, fitting for the 150th anniversary of the 1870 Iron Cross.

Quick maths: I know at least 10 forum members who have one.
