I have senn a lot of brass ones they have had all a bare swastika.
Best Franki
I noticed that too. I saw one in a book that was a dead ringer for the one that I posted in my thread. Paint probably does not adhere as well to brass as it does to bare iron. I would think that brass may have a less pourous finish than iron, so as a result, it does not adhere well to the high points.
BTW- Nice cross Douglynn

@ Imperial Quest
It could be that it sticks together with the adhesion.
I have also a EK1,curved 3, with a bare swas. So it could be that it was just popular to wear it with a blinking swas. EK1 curved 3 is one of the first EK's and the brass core ones has been only manufactured untill 1941 too.
Assumption: maybe the spirit of the age

I think alot of dealers and collectors alike in the past and probably today, like to show evidence of the 'brass', years ago these were fetching far more money because it was the old myth they were Kreigsmarine versions and were far much more rare etc etc.
Just a futher thought on it.
