Unfinished EK and mothers cross...

[Elvis]

How much would these go for? The mothers cross has the inscription on the back.

Thanks,
Erik

mothers cross....

Things like these are so seldom seen that I wouldn't have an idea.

The mothers cross planchet is interesting because the book "For Fuhrer and Fatherland" clearly shows them being enameled and baked after they were die cut.

Elvis,
I have no idea either. Pretty neat stuff just the same.

I had no idea what I was picking up at first. I thought they were just cheap repros of some sort. It wasn't until I got home that I realized they were unfinished. Something about them caught my eye thats why I picked them up. They are neat though.


Thanks Guys,
Erik

Never seen anything quite like them before.. Rare gems!

I love them too. It's interesting to see the different steps taken to manufacture these items. I would love to see a book devoted just to the process of manufacture for all Third Reich militaria items. I've seen some video of old footage showing little old ladies sewing flags and foundry footage of helmets in production that I thought was very interesting. I think a book like that would be a gem collector's library. Thanks for the peek E.

Cheers.
