      mmm the small flaw beading is usually a a small dash in the same position where you have the `V` shape, the pictures are poor (i know they are not the easiest to capture)so i am not to sure in hand examination required unles you can take better pictures ?

      Hello all, bit of a weird one here an 1870 2nd class but with a non magnetic centre. Would like your thoughts please ? it seems that the core is to large for the frame (will try and take some side shots) Thanks in advance Ashley

      Wow and thanks Vince, a lot of food for thought here ! ? i had believed he was reported missing on by regt. 06/08/1870 ? i did not know that he existed after this date so lots of good information and a picture ! Thanks for taking the time to share this paperwork ?

      Hi does it have the small beading flaw on the top arm ?

      Doubt if it was anything of importance ..... though they had an active foreign legion during the war, but probably just used to pin to a board ??

      With regard t1813 crosses remember that ( original first 500) the arms were pinned together ? so that may count for the multiple construction. i am sure one of mine is 27 pieces ..? must check it out lol

      from what i can see maybe the war merit cross and Naval shoulder MAY be ok but the rest look dubious !

      I believe both Mayer and Deumer produced crosses with more rounded corners, and usually more so in the inter war eras?
