first Ek2

[millerbean]

Hi guys just recieved my first EK 2, well should say its my first award period, and can now see how this could become habit forming, it was sold as unmarked but looking at the ring I noticed something hard to read but with a jewlers loop saw a 100 MM, Cant post pics I will become a member soon, but any know who made this cross mm 100?
thanks in advance
Rob miller

Rob,
Congrats and welcome to the most addictive hobby since crack! 100 would be Rudolf Wachtler & Lange of Mittweida. I suggest you become a member, read everything, and get some EK books like Gordon Williamson's book "The Iron Cross of 1939" and also Previtera's "The Iron Time." Both are awesome.
WELCOME,
Marc

Ohh Rob,

you lucky little devil. Where did you find this lovely cross? Welcome to the "mm100 as your first EK2" Club! This was also my first EK2 and mine was in about the same shape as yours. Let me know if you every decide to sell it as I collect this maker.

A very good choice on your first EK2. You could not have started with a better first example for the price.

I applaud you on your new award. A real looker!

Actually lucky enough to aquire this off the estand from a member
also included was an envelope but not from the same maker as the cross
maker on the envelope is Gustav Brehmen sp? and the ribbon is 11.5 inches,
(292 mm) long 30mm wide would this also be correct?
thanks so much you guys the help this forum is the best

[Airborne Nut]

Ahhh, so you're the one who bought her. Good pick she's a beauty and your pics are much better than the seller's pics were. She really does shine like a diamond.

Very nice cross, and I have said it before and I will say it again, Iron Crosses are like potato chips, you can never eat just one, so be careful

Rob,

Beautiful cross. I need to find one of these mint pieces. Gorgeous.

Welcome aboard. You will meet some of the nicest people here from all over the world. You're very lucky to be starting out AND a member of this forum. I wish I had it 25 years ago. It would have saved me some money. These guys can be brutally honest, but it's all in love of the hobby.

Enjoy.....
