    EK1 for Review

    Hi to all,

    Is this an original 1939 Iron Cross 1st clasp by Zimmermann? Thanking you all in advance and hoping to hear from some of you very soon.

    It’s a modern reproduction.
    it has not much in common with a real Zimmermann ek1.

                  I will skip obverse horror, just let's have a look at the reverse. If you see manufacturer stamp, in our case 20 which should correspond to C.F. Zimmermann, Pforzheim.
                  Then you go and compare your specimen with available data ( books) look for way it suppose to be marked, what hardware used, etc. If no match - then sorry

                    You need to study the originals to avoid fakes.
                    Sounds dull, but it's as simple as that.

                    This cross is a one-piece fake that has absolutely nothing in common with a Zimmermann ek
