    Acetone works on most glue, i used that on repainted WWII and WWI crosses and it only took off the new paint, not the old one. Rubbed very hard and none of the old paint came off. Maybe you can try it on a Q-tip and rub a small part of the reverse, change the q-tip often and look for black color on it.

    Here's an after/before pic of a "Acetoned" 1914 Prinzen.

      BE CAREFUL!!!

      I was given this advice in the past regarding a 1939 EK2 that had a small touch-up on the paint....

      DISASTER!!

      The acetone completely removed ALL of the paint on the cross.

      I'd say just leave the cross as it is.... any more messing with it will only damage it further.

      Regards - Danny

        cross

        I used a little warm water and rubbed it with a pencil eraser very lightly. Took it off. I guess you never know. I thinking now it was not glue but plastic packing that melted when the case was left in the sun. Thanks all for the help. Regards Joeachim
