Hello all,
I am a cloth insignia guy and have never really studied the EK. My Grandfather came back from the European theater with a variety of souvenirs but he always wanted a EK. When I was a kid I remember visiting many antique shops in Maryland in search of one. Well, after many years he found one that he liked and it got passed down to me by my parents after he passed away.
Anyway, long story short, my family made a collage of his military things and this cross was part of it. Unfortunately, the pin got bent pretty good in the process and the clasp did as well. There are no markings on it at all with the exception of "595" on the pin.
What exactly do I have here? and is it good or is it a copy? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
D
