Chris Boonzaier Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Having been out of collecting crosses for a number of years now, I am a bit behind in the latest level of maker identification. I recently picked this up, nicely made piece. I assume from the catch and pin it is WW2 era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriztofer Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Nice 1920/30's era cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike K Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hi Chris, From the core and hardware I'd place this as a Deumer from the 40s. Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriztofer Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Could be, the rules are for Imperials is that there are none haha. I've seen 20/30s models with this crown/core/pin also. Could be one before the LDO regs in 41. Did the LDO regulations apply to the manufacture of Imperial crosses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they were not bound by the rules, but as the companies were using the dies for the LDO rims it must have been easier to just make the new imprial ones using those frames than have to juggle 2 sets of dies?

I have a couple of examples of this type of cross, matching core and frame which, I have always been under the assumption, were produced in the 20s/30s. Here's mine, it's identical to yours Chris, a long lost relation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
