Very nice one StefanK. Yours too has the modified 1st core in it .
Are the cut outs on the Swastika tapered on yours ? Cannot tell from this face on shot ?

If that EK was awarded the 27th of September 1939, why would the core be modified after less then 4 weeks of use?

It may be the date he qualified for the EK, or was approved for the EK (is the award document available?); not necessarily the day he received the actual medal. He may have received the medal days, weeks, or even months later.

Interesting cross type. I always thought that the term Schinkel was used for crosses made with left -over frames (the true Schinkel type cross, the design that stood a century - 1813 -1870 -1914). So what makes this a Schinkel? This is not a ww1 frame that I am aware of...

I agree Michel, this is no Schinkel.

I call it the "B-Type."
