Godet vs Junker

[meriksson]

They match 100%, i did think i found a way to separate them but no luck. It was only a variation, Imo there is no 21 markt 1ek´s. Not any one that is real, fakes yes. Godet did make ek2´s markt, but not any ek1´s.

Hi,

Are crosses of Godet and Zimmermann exactly the same except for the makers markerings. Or are only de hinge and catch the same and is the core different?

Hello guys,

Thanks for the replies and especially you Bob for taking the time to post pics from these nice crosses

Very intresting, i thought because both makers are from the same area they had some kind of cooperation between them.
I'll post 2 WB later on that indentical between them and only the makers mark changed and i assumed that could be for their other awards too.

Here two WBs, the gold is from Godet and the silver is Juncker. Their crosses is different but the WBs are indentical in every aspect, even the weight are the same, both made from heavy Tombak the L/50 weight 41.5 gr and the L/12 41.6 gr !

Hello Mikael,

I have a examined 21 marked Godet Iron Cross 2nd, Class, First Class and Knight's Cross which all came in the original wartime (not first awards) red leather case. Pierre Plettinck used to own it, sold it to Stephen Wolfe, and I don't know where it went from Stephen Wolfe.

It was many years ago that I examined them, but they were all undoubtedly original. I have a 21 marked 2nd Class in my collection and am still looking for an L/50 marked 2nd Class.

Catch on Zimmermann a little wider

If i dont remeber wrong, some one did find that wider catch on Godet also.
