The pin is certainly not a known type on TR crosses. Same with the case. take a look at all the crosses and cases shown on this forum or in various reference books.

Ray, Although there are some known engraved EKI's out there, One a Meybauer comes to mind on this forum. http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...light=engraved
Any engraved EK should be considered suspicious!!!!!!
Here is another link to a good EKI engraved on the screw disk!
