Strange EK1

[germanmedals]

Here is another EK1 that i got but I have never seen one like this. Parts are quite massive and detailed, but the front is strange to me. Any comments about this one?
thanks

The first time I see such a cross EK1 and I rather doubt in its originality. It is rather a joyful creativity. Of course IMO.

Out of curiosity - what are its dimensions?

Well it doesnt look like a normal reproduction. The core is separated from the frame and there are trices of rust. Dimensions are cca. 4.5 x 4.5 centimeters

Sorry, there are no normal and abnormal reproduction, simply they are copies
I've seen so many different copies (examples of Round 3 copy on the pictures) that I am at this point a little queasy ... but maybe I'm wrong

could be Spanish made after 45, if so it's not a copy. I rather like it.

Spanish after 45 and not copy? How do you mean that?

As far as I know the Spanish under Franco kept making EKs for the vets.

Spain issued their own version until i don't remember when, maybe 60's?

Sorry, probably not. IMO this cross has nothing to do with the Spanish EK1, a completely different set up and the type of core. Please look at the pictures the Spanish EK1
