Badly Rare EK1 ;-)

[5tefan]

At the moment, I only catch 3 of them! 2010,2012 & 2013!
And I pass one more, because the colour was totaly lost and it was too expensive!

My first catch was 2010, but only with 10% paint!
I'm always be happy to catch one of this type! Still looking for the 1914 PB variant!

And these are real?
Not knowing much about these particular crosses, can you explain a little more as to why they're one piece and made so badly?

Thanks,

Hello, Mr.5tefan

wow,

The first pictures of Iron Cross were made with a one-piece ??

- Oh, I'm interesting.

These are breaking stereotypes about authenticity.

It is a good article.

Early Deschlers I believe. I cannot understand why they made these either. There were enough makers of 1914 EKI to get an idea of what they should look like, and it's not as if they are late war when materials were short.

A one-piece strike is less work ,although the rest is more work (plating, painting the cores etc.)

Here are the thick-pin version and the SB version:

[reichenberg]

That was the thread in which I suggested that these were not original. I now know better and accept that they are early originals. I think it's more or less accepted that these were only produced by Deschler?

[ben bijker]

No problem, we've all been there I think.
I had to get used to these ek's as well....

There are a number of collectors that believe these are Deschlers, others believe the are made by Juncker, but no proof either way (so far)

[5tefan]

I know the reason, of the collectors trend ;-)

Some are convince that the number design is like Deschler;-)

But some are for Juncker, due to the two piece srewback.

But so far the 100% evidence is missing!

In my database it is named as Unknown Maker (Deschler?)

One of this type has been listed here - the dealer thinks it's a replacement pin but I'm sure it's identical to those in this thread but Imperial 1914.

in my mind they are 100% junckerish, maybe aws, maybe by another manufacturer connected to juncker, maybe by juncker itself.

[ben bijker]

I disagree, but you already knew that..

I still think these are Deschler.

Thick, heavy, wide flange.
But mainly because of the numerals, they are pretty identical to those on the later Deschler ek's...

Maybe, one day we will know for sure....

I will agree 100%, my favored theory in yellow.
