Looking for 1939 Replica of EK 2nd Class

[John F.]

Can anyone tell me where I can find a good replica of a 1939 Iron Cross 2nd Class? I am looking for one to frame. I keep hearing of all these hard to detect replicas out of Czechoslovakia and Hungary but can never seem to find one. Also, how much can I expect to pay for one of these items?

Thanks!

For a good quality replica, try www.derdienst.com

But like Bill asked, if you're going to display it, a real one won't cost too much more than a fake. I believe Detlev has several right now that are around $30 US. Helmut Weize usually has a few on hand for about the same money.

I do not want to spend the $75-$100 U.S. dollars to buy a real one when a nice replica would do... I guess you can say I am cheap.

Go to www.weitze.net and select militaria. Then select number 7. Scroll down a bit, looking for Eisernes Kreuz 2 Klasse. He has several on hand for €48 (about $45). A copy from Der Dienst will cost about $20.

You're not cheap, everyone has a budget!

Thanks for the reply! I hooked myself up with one from Weitze.com for $45, just hope the wife doesn't find out. No need for additional replies.
