Brass core EKII

[Tiger 1]

Hi guys....

Here's something you don't see every day. The medalbar is a bit rough in condition having suffered what looks to be poor storage and moisture damage. But...the beauty of this bar is the fact that it has a brass or tombak cored EKII.

Any thoughts or comments are welcome. Especially if anyone can identify the maker.

Oh yea...this medal bar was the first one I acquired for my collection. I got it in the late '60s while still in high school from a friend of mine's uncle who brought it back as a war souvenier. My buddy got a helmet....for cleaning out his garage!

Enjoy!

Hello Tony

Are you sure cross the brass??
We tested the non-magnetic?
because I just fell into that trap, I thought copper
but no,(just glance )
the primer has such a beautiful color you used Shickle
Here are my two crosses, look at Magnetic take a look at
and the same color as yours

I know they Otto Schinkle used zinc core
