Three EK1's and EK2 cased bought, marked "26" and "63", help!

[Discostu]

Hi all,

Just picked these up in a collection with some Imperial medals and was wondering what you all thought (3 of the boxed ones in picture are Imperial). There are 5 WW2 Iron Crosses- 4 EK1's and a single unmarked EK2.

The first EK1 is cased with a nice box (with iron cross design on top), and the cross is marked "26" on reverse. The 2nd is loose and marked "63" on reverse pin which is oddly shaped. The 3rd and 4th both have large pins on the reverse and are unmarked. The EK2 has a nice patina andribbon and is unmarked as well.

Please let me know any comments or information as I would greatly appreciate it! I can provide additional pictures as well

Cheers!

Well, despite some questionable photography skills , it looks like you've got some nice crosses there. The EK2 looks like a "65" also, like the EK 1 that's marked on the pin.

The EKI with the long straight pin is probably marked '20' on the reverse side of the pin, C.F. Zimmermann.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the comments (especially Hanks review of my photo expertise, I'm working on it ) , here are some small photos I took on my cell just now, and two hi-definition photos of the maker marks. Robert, you were right- one of them is marked "20" ! The other is marked "L/52" I believe, I hadn't thought to check- please let me know your thoughts.

'20', 'L/52'...same maker.

Nice crosses!
