EK2 help

[Ron Westerduin]

Hi all,

I just started collecting iron crosses.
Maybe you guys can help me out with my first cross i bought.
I've put some pictures on the internet and i hope you all will look at them and tell me something about this cross.
Like i said....this is my first cross, so please help me out.

Thanks and keep up the good work !!!

Hi Ron,

I guess the number is 85, which would make this a piece made by Julius Pletsch in Gablonz. The EK2 looks fine, I personally give it the thumbs up.

Cheers, Frank H.

good one

Hello,


Im with FRank on this one , i also give it a thumbs up and its one i also would add to the collection ( it has nice patine and a kinda salty look ) +> for more info on the LDO numbers go to the startpage and click on the research tools ( there you wil find the LDO numbers accopanied by the representative producer )

It indeed looks as the number 85 ( = LDO number ) on the suspension ring.

Friendly Greetings,

Hi Ron
IMHO, your cross is OK and I fully agree with Stijn and Frank on the maker's mark (i.e. 85)
Regards

Hi Ron,

Yes, it is quite common, if you paid around USD 40-50 for it, that is ok. To my best knowledge there is not more info to be obtained about the company of Pletsch as it ceased to exist.

P.S.: the maker might not be so common but it does not justify this cross to be rated "rare" in general. I guess that was more your question.

Cheers, Frank H.
