Hi,
another sorry

[Panzercracker]

An old repo my friend. Sorry.

[Stu W]

Couple things...

The theory that non ferrous cored EK were for issue to the Kriegsmarine has long since fallen out of favor.

Also, when examining EK from photographs the best results are obtained from straight on views in sharp focus. Oblique angle shots tend to mislead the viewers as to dimensions and proportions. I'd ask the seller for better photos before spending any money on that EKI. It's doesn't look good to me.

Regards,
Stu

The only chance to get good ek1, is study Iron Crosses here @ WAF or buy them from E-Stand. Or take a look at the internet side below and study, study and study!

The guys comments are right on the nose, baaad to the core

Ironfist, if you're just venturing into EK collecting you should possibly consider investing in the new iron cross book, it could save you a headache and a few bob.
