WWI EK made in 1939

[Adrian]

Hello All,

Just curious to know those of you who have an 1914 EK which was made in the Third Reich - do you group it with your 1914 pieces or your 1939 awards??
I`ve been puzzling this and it seems like a "chicken or the egg" dilemma. I`ve gone for putting it with my 1939 crosses at the moment.
Anyone have other ideas or opinions??

Regards to all,
Adrian.

Dear Adrian,

I would put it with the 1914 crosses. But if you like people that take a look at your collection go "why is THAT EK 1914 with your 1939 crosses"? so you can explain why and be the "wise guy" you should have it in the 1939 section

Just kidding.

Cheers, Frank H.

Hi Adrian!

I display my 1914 EK1's that was made during the third reich with all my 1939 crosses. To me it was mamufactured during that time and it was worn during the second world war.

By the way, they look great, doesn't matter where you group and display them.
