Which is your favorite from the Iron Cross series?

The '39 for me, always trying to buy different variants

Hi guys. New here! lol I was encouraged to ask ask ask so here it goes:

Can you or anyone explain this? DIfferent makers looking different. Weren't they regulated in the creation? I know it's hard to make everyone 100% identical but figured I would ask. Also HOW does one tell the differences. Can someone share what exactly you look at or for with these pics? Even the cheapest knock off EK I have seen posted here looks 100% legit to my untrained eyes lol. Also how can you tell if they are 3 peice or solid cast? If there is a link that covers this, my apologies. Just figured this might be a good place to ask people! Thanks

It is somethig you pick up after looking at lots and lots of EKs, studying pics, and reference books. In a nut shell these guys have years under their belts...i'm still in AWWW of these guys!!


For me it would have to be the "has it all" 1914

[Gabor Tischler]

I like the 1870, 1914 and 1939 versions but my favorite the 1939 Iron Crosses with mm.

[Montgomery Burns]

id must say after having all types off crosses seen or holding myself in hand ..

the email ek2 off 1914 is the most beauty full cross off all .

second in my list is the 1870 virgin's cross .

they made me sell my M Hansen collection
just because those where just not good enough no more

Agree with Kay and would add the 1914 EKI/EKII Enamelled Prinzen to the 3rd and 4th place on list.

[Woolgar]

39s all the way for me. Only because of my life long interest in WW2

When posting to Crosses of Wehrmacht, it was quite clear which serie will be favourite

[kriztof]

Hmm, it's kinda like asking what is my ONE favorite meal, impossible to say because I like all Iron crosses equally, and like food, my taste varies on a daily/weekly basis

Is there an ALL category to check?
