New Schinkel Bar...

[Scott C.]

I thought this would go well with my small Luft collection. From what I can tell, this Schinkel matches up with other said originals posted on the forum. Opinions welcome. Thanks.

Hi Herc1
Take a look at this thread... similar?

Yes, I looked at that thread (among others) in my comparison. While the bars are similar overall, I think the dates on the front and back of my EK are a bit smaller and higher up on the lower arm, and the overall shape of my cross looks "more Shinkel-form" than the one in the other thread (IMO).

Further opinions/discussion on the cross I posted are welcome

Looks like you have a "vaulted" Prague Bar Herc

[Scott C.]

In hand, it looks like the Prague bar was bent on the ends slightly - possibly to keep it from getting caught up on the uniform (?)

That Schinkel is fine.

[Scott C.]

Thanks George. The more I compared it with those shown in the Iron Cross reference section, the better I felt about it.

Cheers.
