    I really like the AC/DC style lettering on the 1941 date!
    Even if the cross was good, I would pass on it because of this engraving.

    I used to own a very nice WW1 Meybauer cruciform EK1 on which someone added a spurious engraving - using the same propellor / wings logo. Similar to the Deutscher Luftsportverband emblem, I was told that others had seen it engraved on other crosses too.

      Hank,

      Perhaps they were trying to copy the DLV insignia?

            "its a long way to the top if you want a" be an EKI. The half size swaz giant 19 super thick clasp ek with a nice dose of gun blue. No "rock and roll" here.

                Hi Hank,

                To be honest I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's a somewhat frequently seen motif engraved on the reverses of 1914 EKs. I guess it has something to do with flyers. The Klingbeil book on Prussian awards shows a few EKs with this design on the reverse, so this one may have been copied from those. Or those may have been done by the same dude.
                Best regards,
                Streptile

                  Unless it was nighttime, or the weather was bad, and you were running out of gas - then it was a sweaty nightmare, like a monkey f*ing a skunk.
