A Year Of Crosses........

[Stephen Stout]

Tell us a little more about that Juncker Grosskreuz, Wolfgang!

Okay, I am right that is a grand cross. How much do Grrooskreuzs go for?

Dietrich, the Grand Cross is in fact a Juncker L/12 800. Thank you very much for the help when I was contemplating the purchase. I would not have been brave enough to go ahead without an expert opinion. I ended up finding out about the cross when my purchase of Juncker KC went awry.
The cross wiped out a considerable portion of my collecting budget, but it was worth it. It is a very impressive piece in hand, by size and weight. Though it is not a bravery award, but almost a political award, to me it is still a very important part of the iron cross family. Thanks again Dietrich.
I did finally get your book for Cristmas, it has become my KC collecting bible, I read and re-read it daily.

Oh, I did not want you to praise me. Honestly not! I like to help.

I just thought - based on the quietness - that it might be worth while to point out that the pictures shows a Grand Cross (and not a dipping ring fake ...).

Wolfgang,

A very touching story and an impressive “Canadian” collection.
Thanks for showing.

That must be post 16 if I am not wrong.
Look at how the ring of the cross "goes down" in the frame, there fore the dipping ring.

Wolfgang, amazing collection!
I dont get in here too often, but the thread title was tempting..and im glad i gave it a shot.
Thanks for sharing!

Sorry about your lost last year. The good thing that you must be happy about is that you got to know more about him before it was "too late".

[Mark Holmes]

Some people start of small and work their way towards larger more expensive pieces .
