Hi
Could I have your opinions on the german iron cross 2 klas
MARKED ON A RING "26" 3 PIECES CONSTRUCTION, 2 SILVER FRAMES & MAGNETIC IRON CORE

[baldy1939]

It's a FAKE , don't think they marked them 26 but only marked them L/18

[Friedrich]

Yes, these are fakes.. Read more about them here:

Best regards,

Unfortunately the guys above are correct, it is a reproduction.

Hi Thank you for opinion on the EK 2

Yeah, I don't like the way that first one looks.. The frame edges have that un-polished look indicative of the fakes.....I once had a "26" marked one, and it had casting bubbles on the frame edge, 12 o'clock arm, right corner.

The second cross, however (the one in post #5), looks like it might be an un-marked "6" (F. Zimmermann). What say ye, collectors with more experience and knowledge than I?

[baldy1939]

The second cross looks like a good Zimmermann (6) too me .

This second example is a good, original example and as the others above have said by Zimmermann - '6'.
There are many reproductions out there but equally many fine originals. There are alot being sold on the estand at the moment so if you want to find a genuine example, take a look down there. Having said that though - buy the Zimmerman!!!!

Nice Fritz Zimmermann

The other cross is such a dangerous fake
