German Cross Swastika

[John Huff]

I mat have the chance to acquire a beautiful German Cross in gold... unfortunately missing the swastika --- Any chance of ever finding one??

[tinmantis]

never seen one for sale
thus the low price of a cross missing one! like all those EK1 screwbacks without a disc
I'd be interested to see a pic of the cross though...

It would probably be easier to have a replacement swaz made than to find a loose genuine one.

The Doktor currently has one, though not an original. If you drop down to conservation it is pictured along with a field conversion EK2-1. I guess Karma comes into play here, this is the story behind that swastika. I found a German Cross in Silver (maker marked 1) at an antik shop in Germany. It had some damage to the enamel of the swastika and the dealer said that he was just getting ready to pop the swastika and replace it with the one pictured. I wasn't interested in that happening, so I worked a trade to get the German Cross as was/is and he threw in the swastika since he didn't need it any longer. I have been carrying it around for 20+ years and figured that the Doktor might be able to use it. Again, its not an original, but might meet your needs. Talk to Jimmy.

Placing a fake swastika on an original German Cross is just damaging it further.

You would have to have the correct maker swastika for the maker of German Cross.

I have been collecting denazified badges and would be happy to have a German Cross and leave it as it is.

There is an original swastika for sale right now on Kai Winkler.

EDIT After actually reading the description, I'm not sure it's original after all.

Plus, how would you affix the Swasi on a DKiG without taking it apart? No sure the result would be worth the effort.

Totally agree with Bob on this. I would hold out for a complete example or buy the de-naz example and appreciate it for what it is.
