This one's from Germany; naturally denazified by the elements!

Hello,
A great item! Had the swastika and date not fully been removed then this would have been one of the neatest EK_2's ever.

How does nature 'discriminate'?Regards,

I just figured that, wherever this cross has been, the conditions led to the rusting off of the swastika and date. After your comment, and now that I look closer, I think it may have been denazified and THEN lost. That's strange... AusgangComment

you sure it's not a variant '1813'?

I love these relic threads, especially when they get a bit sarcastic!
Anyway, its a standard issue TR EK2 that'd been resting peacefully somewhere until some fanatic brought it back into the daylight. I have a few relics that rival this one for rust but on those the frame has separated. Cool thing about this one is that the iron is actually rusted through in a spot or two but the frames are tight as a the day it was awarded. I like to try and get the story behind the relics I buy but sometimes people don't wanna discuss it or the language barrier is too much. A punk rocker friend of mine lost the genuine EK2 he was wearing while outside of a club. No one's gonna believe that find is real. Anyway, relics (like me) rule! Ausgang
