    The photo I am looking at is in Gordon's book The Iron Cross of 1939.
    Sorry no scanner, and can not post pic.
    Just do a search on German Cross Stickpins.

    Ok that makes sense. When I get home from work I'll take a gander in D's book. I think I remember what I'm looking for.

        Yep. Just got home and took a gander. All the examples illustrated are with a rivet.

          Cases like that were used for stickpin jewelery, ...works great for display and storage.

            I'll try to send another view from the back;
            Even if we can imagine that the stick could be fixed at the same place
            as the rivet, I believe that there is no rivet at this example indeed.

            However, I would like to ask some more questions :
            - Could the absence of a rivet not be a variant from another maker ?
            - Are they existing and known copies of such items ??

            Thank you so far for the interesting commentaries.

              To answer the two questions at hand.
              1. In my short time collecting I have never seen in pics or in hand a variation that is not multi-piece construction and/or without the 1941 date. That being said I am not the authority on it, just my experience so far.
              2. They copy everything and I mean everything.
