EK1s on general tunic

[steiner68]

hello all,

is that this combination is usual ? (two EK1)

it's the first time that I see that.

thank you

[Tony T-S]

Not an EKI. The Imperial guys will be able to tell you what it is.

[steiner68]

Thank you for your answer !

Nice photo!

The lower one is not an Iron Cross, its an Military merite cross 1st class from Mecklenburg Schwerin

[steiner68]

Thank you !

I will search one, with screwback... I don't know his value.

Hi,

I think you'll have a long search for a screwback Meck-Schwerin KVK1, especially the type in the photo with the "long" crown. The pinback of this type has the Deumer-like folded-over hinge (like on some Round-3 and Schinkel early 1939 EK1s) so I'd guess you'd be looking for a clamshell screwback. The type in the photo is NOT a Meyabuer, which is the most "common" M-S KVK1 screwback (and they are about as common as hen's teeth).

Regards
Mike

Thank you Mike

Another question :

The Nordfront kreuz is worn on the left or right pocket ? (I have seen both cases...)

[Volksgrenadier 44]

..

It was worn on the left breast pocket as was the lappland

however a general could wear what he liked and when id imagine!!


All the best
