Greetings friends,
For your viewing pleasure, one of my favorite "Iron" Crosses! Once upon a time this cloth 1914 EK1 rested on the breast of a WW1 General Officers tunic. Removed by a family member when the tunic, thought long lost, was found. The tunic had been ravaged by wool eating closet monsters and discarded after the insignia was removed. I got this cross and am promissed his insignia one day.
I have been collecting for just over 40 years now and know these are very rare. Any others out there?
Cheers,
Vince Leone
