Hi Members ;
re : EK frosting methods and application .
This subject may have been posted befor , probably just not found it yet.
With all the strickt guidelines on the manufacturing of Iron Crosses .... ,size ,shape and materials , a bit puzzeled over the many different frosting applications ?
It seams to be a great variance by maker what parts of the Cross was frosted . Without posting dozons of pictures , I have seen Crosses with very little frosting to more or less the whole frame frosted including the ribbon ring . Appearance : Thin and smooth all the way to thick paste like coatings , machine and hand applied ? Some never frosted , or worn or polished away, or missed that process ? or late war lake of material .
The Picture Gallery that is being set up on EK 2's right now is an excellent spot to see all these different applications .
Was it then entirly up to the manufacturer to 'frost' what he wanted to ???
And can frosting types and styles- date the Cross ???
Peticular interest are S&L EK2 Crosses , .. just going over some old information of mine .
Cheers, Douglas
