Junker Knights Cross Number 2 Markings

[Hagar]

Hi all,
I need help with the JUNKER KNIGHTS CROSS number 2 markings.

Recently I have seen a few crosses with the "2" side ways on the top of cross, was this the case with Junker crosses did they ever mark their crosses like this see pics below ( these are repos I think but just to show you what I mean

Juncker placed their "2s" in both of the positions shown on the copies you posted.

Greetings Hagar,
I highly recommend Gordon Williamson's new book "The Iron Cross of 1939". All variations of Juncker RK markings are represented. As as Association Member, you're entitled to a 20% discount through Bender Publications

The RK's in your photo's are definitely NOT Junckers....they're Latvian repro's.
Cheers,
Roy

When the "2" is on it's side it is commonly referred to as a "lazy 2"

Yep definitely a Junk er RK.
Think I saw this one on ebay a week or so ago......

I guess in very simple terms; when something is "hand" stamped there will always be a varience. The positioning of these stamps is very important but not the deciding factor!
