      2nd cross is fake so the gravur too.

        Hello,
        first engravure surely fake.

        The U39 made only one mission on 1939.

        Here the story:
        http://uboat.net/boats/u39.htm

        The second one is about U2501 or U2507 but IMHO I don't like it.

            IMHO the engravings are both crap.

              The seller say that the first cross was awarded in memory, to his family members, after the death of the submariner...

                my comment about the 1st one is about your 2nd cross and viceversa, apologize for the missunderstanding

                  the question is, how much are asking for these crosses? if the first EK is original and with right price, go for it, but do not pay more for this engraving...

                    If you read the link all crew members are survived.... 44 survivors (no casualties) and this episode is of 1939.

                    They finished the war like POW on England.

                    Also the font are modern, on past all of these are hand made from jewelery or Uniform shop.

                    The seller can play any history.. IMHO is ever wrong.

                    Not is the first cross with add fake engravure and not even the last.

                      On this page we find all the Uboat embleme:
                      http://uboat.net/special/emblems/listing_boats.html

                      The U2501 or U2507 doesen't have any embleme

                      Probably the embleme is real but belong it to another U-Boot

                        Massimo, in the beginning they have written the following: "Please not not all emblems are included yet."

                          As soon as I see the thread title, I'm skeptical.

                          Bottom line, without better pictures and some SOLID provenance/proof, forget it.
