UNISSUED EK2 IN PAPER PACKET WITH RIBBON.
There have been many of these found over the years as ‘new, old stock’. There were millions made and issued during and before the war. However, they have mostly disappeared and dried up, all going into collections all over the world. This is a mint, unissued Iron Cross second class. There IS a ring maker stamp, but I can't read it, perhaps 14? Condition is mint, with a little age tarnish patina... read more
WW1 Soldbuch Grouping - 1.Masch.Gew.Esk.Ulanen Regt.4.

A marvellous example of a very high quality parade Waffenrock tunic for a Senior Wachtmeister NCO of the Artillery. With much silver tress ribbon on the collars and cuffs, these tunics look better than the Officers ones in my opinion. This tunic is in really great condition, has obvious evidence of having been worn with some staining to the lining under the arms and wear to the edge of the cuf... read more
