making an Iron Cross from scratch

[Militaria-Berlin]

Very interesting and basic way to make EKs, thank you for showing.

Here is a good comparision thread about making 1939 crosses.

So, do you believe that 1939 EK cores were caste rather than cold forged (?)

(I think not)

Thanks for the nice pictures

Chris;

not all 1914 EK's were cast either - just one of the many manufacturing processes. You are right - 1939 EK's were cold forged.
