Cross A - Quite deep and fine swas. and dates

Hello

I can't say for certain, and as such this is only a best guess, but in my opinion cross A is by maker 27, Anton Schenkls Nachfolger, Wien, (Wien being Vienna), and cross B is by maker 128, S. Jablonski GmbH, Posen.

A good reference point for identifing EK2s, and other Third Reich items is in the front section of this forum:

http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/

From the left side menu select the area of interest, i.e. Iron Cross and read through the sections on that item. Where the manufacturers are listed, click on the manufacturers name and it will, in some cases, take you to pictures of an item from that company, which you can then compare with yours.

Hope this is of some help.

David

Hello Richard

Not sure if you have read my earlier reply yet, but I had hoped some of the other members might have chimed in. Looks like you are stuck with my guess at the possible manufacturer of these.

Hope it is of some use.
