      I am not sure who the maker was but the Eks with the black enamel croes ( mistakenly called Onyx cores) have to be almost impossible to find. I have only seen pictures but I have been told that they are as nice as the enamel on the Maiden's cross.

      Great close-up pictures. As Joe said the 1870 Ek shows some very nice detail. Could you show us the entire cross?

      They ARE still out there. I found my 1813 on Ebay of all places.

      Dave, absolutely beautifull crosses !!!!!!!!

      Very nice collection

      That was my thought exactly. Thanks for clarifying it. Just out of curiosity -- what does a Rothe & Neffe makers mark look like? I have seen the Meybauer mistakenly discribed as the R&N makers mark. Can someone please post a picture? Thanks, Greg

      Nice crosses. The full sized cross looks to have the correct "wide" ribbon. I do have a question. How do you attribute these to Rothe & Neffe ? I have never actually seen a cross theat could be traced to that firm.

      Nice cross. The Godet with "Fangs" is one of my favorite crosses.

      Nice cross. From the very sharp,clean details I would guess that this is probably a 1870 issue cross. As for the attachment. It looks like a repair job. The soldered on ring may have broke off and the easy fix was to drill a hole.

      He has it referenced with the 1st. class crosses as simply "unknown" BTW- That is a very nice variation.

      Actual mini "medal bars" are relatively uncommon. Button hole minis and Frack chains are much more common. The "rarity" of the piece is like that of the fullsized versions. A mini PLM or Blackeagle is going to be a lot harder to find then the Ek or Hindenburg cross. BE WARNED------Those little beauties ARE addicting.

      a better scan as requested
    14. gregM
      I appreciate your help with this. Here is a scan showing the corners that you had highlighted. IMO they are a similar style but they do not match. It's hard to say for sure but the beading at the corners does not look like a match to me. Close but not quite.

      thanks

      Not that I am questioning the knowledge of those with WAY more experience than myself BUT would a TR era cross have the bump on the frame where the ring attaches? I have seen other 1870s with this feature but wonder if this would carry through to the 1930s-40s. Just thinking out loud

      At $350 each---I think I might have a few for sale

      This reminds me of some of the old SURFER crosses from the '60s.

      The post said "2nd".

      someone on WAF posted that he had received his copy Friday but did not give any futher information.
    21. gregM
      I have heard that copies of the new book are being shipped Has anyone here received their copy yet? How does it compare to the 1st edition?
    22. gregM
      All the details are silver. they are just slightly polished and the outer frame is tarnished. ( I did not want to polish it to match the details) It is single sided so the back is just flat tarnished silver that is building up some patina like you would see on the back of a silver EK1.

      Just picked this up today. 21.5mm mini on a 16mm ribbon. It appears to be solid silver with an enamel core. It has some scratches and pits but it still looks nice.
    24. gregM
      Very nice cross !! I have one that could be a twin to it but of coarse mine is missing the back plate. Greg

      looks like a muffin crown on the 1813 reverse
