Yankee Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Dear GMIC members This is way out of my knowledge. Hoping one of the Iron cross collectors can tell me if this is a good example. The markings on the frame is L/3 last number possible 3 not well executed to be certain. 800 as well. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Those scare me; especially for the prices these go for. I hope that you get good news on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavinmedals Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 They scare me too. So I generally admire them in period photos only. I have looked at one or two of my reference books on the Knights Cross, and it may help to also post the dimensions and the weight of the cross. However one area of concern, although difficult to tell for sure from the pic, would be that the swastika seems shallow relative to the rim. I would be wary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be wary HI A guy had the cross lying around for over 30 years. It measures 49 mm & the beaded rim is slightly higher than the swasstika. What troubled me is the hallmarks not being so readable even with a 10X loop. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
