Spanish EK2

[k98dude]

Hello all, I have this Spanish Ek2. I was wondering is there a way to tell the maker on this one. It is non magnetic, and one piece construction. I can't seem to find any info on the internet.

Original spanish iron cross second class production, after 1950. You know how many different opinions there are about these medals. As for the manufacturer.....impossible to know for sure.

Unknown maker. Typical early post war made.

Without spanish hanger.....150 could be a fair price for an experienced Iron Cross collector.

Thanks again Byakkotai. I originally bought this medal thinking it was brass. One made for the kreigsmarine. I had read an article about them being made of brass so they wouldn't rust from being on the sea. Of course that may not even be true. Anyway the pictures weren't real close up for me to be able to see the dimpling effect on the cross core. So I took it at face value and probably spent more then I should have.

I have seen a pair recently sold on Spain, around 200-250 euro.

Thanks also Mike TM. I thought about selling it to pay for part of a nice EK1.
