Hello

The cross looks fine to me. Maker '75' is an unidentified manufacturer, along with some others, but other examples of '75' ring stamped EK2s are known. There is one in Gordon Williamsons book, 'The Iron Cross of 1939' on page 78, (the pictures are attributted the wrong way round, the one the top right being the '75' and not the '76' as stated), albeit it only shows the ring and the maker mark. However the ring marking is identical to the one you are showing here.

Regards
David

Hello,

I would say that your cross is fine and an exact match to the others posted. Not the nicest looking EK_2 but a rare find indeed.

Why does the tag say #76? Isn't supposed to be #75?

So its worth having?

Does it command a higher value than any other EK?

Hello,

Not worth more, but desired as it is rather uncommon; if you were forced to sell I am sure it wouldn't take long.
