      Thanks VERY MUCH for your help I found it at a gun show a couple years ago. Paid $175

      I believe this to be an early army NCO sword. Because this is unmaked, is it just one of the many mass produced factory swords? Any info you might be able to give me would be great. Any idea of value. Thanks for your help. Greg

      The only problems with this sword is the retaining snap is missing that holds the sword in the sheath and there is a small crack aprox 1/2 inch long in the ray skin.

      Here is another Katana for review. It is in very good condition with only a small dark stain to the blade near to where the handle is mounted. It has a brown leather covered wood sheath. It is COMPLETELY unmarked. no numbers, stamps, or lettering.

      I also notice that the anti-spin pin has been removed

      I don't know what to think about that. I looked mine over again and I didn't see any evidence of it ever being painted. Greg ( WOW-I just realized. This is a Ek variation that I have and you don't already have in your vast collection--that doesn't happen very often )

      That's a nice way to start off the new year I am currently making payments on it's twin. Hopefully I will be posting it within the next few weeks. Nice cross.
    8. gregM
      Yes, The cross is not in the best shape but the core is definately blued.

      crown
    10. gregM
      Is this a 3rd style crown variation.

      I would like to wish everyone in Imperial a happy and safe Christmas.
    12. gregM
      I agree with Joe. Core details match scans I have of a Wagner marked cross.
    13. gregM
      Andy, Some of these backplates are marked so faintly that they can hardly be spotted at all. Mine has to be held at just the right angle, in just the right light to be able to make it out at all. Sometimes the mark is more noticable from the underside or cross side of the backing plate.
    14. gregM
      I've got one that is a match to this one except that the makers mark on mine is so weakly struck that it is barely readable. As is the case with most of these crosses. FYI--there are at least 3 different core variations for this cross showing 3 distinctly different crowns.
    15. gregM
      A nice collection and very nicely displayed.

      Here is on that was posted on WAF. It is the same style of 1 piece cross. Perhaps now that we have seen 2 of these pieces maybe they will be accepted as an authentic piece. http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...ht=solid+silver

      Well done Glenn

      Steve and Micha --Thank you When I originally posted this cross I was not just fishing for a compliment. I actually needed some help. I needed to find out if it was fake or not and weather or not to send it back. Good thing I posted it elsewhere.
    20. gregM
      This cross has been identified as B.H. Mayer cross. Pin back versions of this cross can be seen with the "26" stamp on it. There is a very distintive die flaw on these that are common to all original Mayer crosses of this style. -----if anyone cares
    21. gregM
      This looks to be a 1 piece cross. I have heard that some of these were made in solid silver but I have never seen one or seen one posted.
    22. gregM
      It almost looks like a Godet. There are a number of similarities. The width of the hinge block. the shape of the pin, the style of the crown and the date. But there are a few things that are not quite right. The placement of the hinge is VERY high on the cross. The catch is different and the frame detail is very week. I think it is a Godet "wanna be". Original or fake ? I can't say for sure--sorry.
    23. gregM
      No one has an opinion?????????? This picture shows a little more detail--
    24. gregM
      This is the first of this style of cross for me and I was somewhat surprised at how light weight it was. I am guessing this is because the frame is some sort of cheap TR alloy. Definately a different quality when compared to an Imperial Godet or Wagner ect. Thanks for looking, Greg
    25. gregM
      Here is the backside. No makers marks. It does have the anti-spin pin and the disc does not have the dimple we used to see on the early fakes.
