Hi Guys,

I took down some of the EKs from some of the uniforms I own in order to have these reviewed on the forum. Are there any problematic ones among them? 1x1914 and 5x 1939. If you do not like something please state why. THANKS!

Cheers, Willem

#6 was denazified, and the swastika re-added later. Can't comment on the 1914. The others look probaby okay (to me) but better straight-on pix would help be 100% sure.

Guys, thanks so far.

Can anyone confirm Hanks remark on no 6. After reading his comment and looking closely at it, it could be possible. Here are some more pics of no 6. Keep the comments coming please.

I agree with Hank.
You can also see that the core is repainted.

Hi Willem :
Your EK1 marked 2 in the picture is a W&L made cross .

Would be better to show us the back-side pictures with closed pin setup.

So I only can hardly gess from a very far away distance.

1.) L59
2.) W&L
3.) PM
4.) PM
5.) EK1 1914 WW1 is not what I collecting
6.) reworked early S&L


But I'm not 100% sure. Better pictures would be more helpful ;-)

Swas has been replaced.
It's brass, while the paint shows spidering of rust underneath.

Based on the "3" in the date, I'd say number one is a "65"
