Hey Peter, Haha I can't place it, but its gnawing at my brain. I think the 1813 "blob" between the 1 and 8 is significant, along with the beading flaw and the hump, but I just can't seem to place it righ now. Great looking cross though! EDIT: mm "40" for Berg & Nolte, L?denscheid, haha Final Answer. Kind Regards, Steve
Thanks guys! Hey Peter, other than the "hump" of the W&L, I think the other characteristics of this maker are the relatively low numerals on the core, as well as the usually frosted finish these crosses retain. I also just learned that on 1813 on the reverse of the cross, the 3 is always "blocked off" on the top of the 3. [attachmentid=28650] Kind Regards, Steve
Hi guys, Just got this a few days ago, will take a shot at the shorthand, MVK 3 Kl. wXwK? Pretty good shape, with a few dings to the crown but otherwise OK. Crown swivels a bit too, swords are a bit larger than my Deschler u. Sohne marked example, any chance at ID the maker? Thanks guys, Kind Regards, Steve [attachmentid=28437] [attachmentid=28438]
Hi guys, Just thought I would share a recent acquisition, an unmarked W&L EK II with most of it's finish remaining. The best cross condition whys in my small collection. Core rattles a little, but paint is almost flawless, with just 2 small (extremely small, only seen with loop) chips to the swaz and the second 9 of 1939. Thanks guys, Kind Regards, Steve [attachmentid=28436]
Hi Eric, Haha your old Flower War medals are doing good in their new home, appreciated every day! Although they have been getting some older Imperial neighbors moving into their case. Kind Regards, Steve
Thanks Joel and David, Appreciate it guys! On the CD 800, you are absolutely right, a very finely cast core. This one also seems to be double stamped, the 800 is very faintly stamped again on the ring. (right below the other) Kind Regards, Steve
