They seem to be okay. The EK2 has a VERY distinct "3" in the 1813 date on backside, if you look around long enough here you ought to be able to match it up to something.

Thanx for ur opinion!Im an amateur yet,few things i have in my collection were found out here to be fakes

Hello Ireland
Both your crosses are fine. I think your iron cross is from maker 122 (JJ. Stahl Strassburg).

Happy New Year
