Hi,
I'm reasonably new to the forum. it's great to see so many keen collectors out there. I would like some expert advice with verifying the maker of this Ek1. I would also like to know if the cross is original or a high end reproduction? At first I thought that it may be an early Juncker piece, but I'm no expert on the Iron Cross. A good mate of mine has gone over it and concluded that it was best to list it on this forum. I can provide you with some info about the cross. It has a Zinc core and weighs about 20-21grams. My mate black lighted the case and no sign of modern materials showed up. To me it looks like an original higher quality make with the material where the retaining pin sits. Otherwise it's all up to you to work it out. Your help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Rossi
