Joel,
Thanks. Mine is really in just above average condition. They can be found at fairly reasonable prices.
It just takes a liitle patiance to find one that has'nt been messed with.
Chris,
Wouldn't that be "25th" reserve regiment?

Greg I put an idea/answer on the pickelhaube forum. seems to me it is consistent with the Rheinisch infantry regiments of IX Army Corps. Therefore I would vote that it is JR 25. 25R
Thanks for the additional info. and thank you for your help on the Pick-forum.
This has been a great learning experience and a lot of fun.

Stephen,
The original liner is still there however it is in VERY fragile condition. A couple of the ears
are ripped. No draw string ect. The original leather wedges for the wappen are missing.
The only marking is a 25? on the rear visor. It could be just a 25 or it could be part of a
252. 253, 259. Any help with this would be great.

Great, Greg! I see you finally took the plunge!
Yea--I've wanted one of these for years.
There is nothing really noteworthy about this one except for the great detail in the front plate. That's what sold me on it and the price wasn't too bad.

Worried because we spend too much time obcessing over these or worried because we can only match 3 :unsure:

I could only match 3 as well. I think maybe Steve or Mica could do much better.

"nothing spectacular" I beg to differ. This cross is exactly the type of cross I love to come across.
Dark core (no paint) and the detail of the crown is awesome. Being a not to common maker, 925
silver and engraved is just icing on the cake.

I have seen the CD 800 in one line or the CD over 800 but stamped on the pin is a new one for me.

Interesting theory. I know that some cores are stamped rather than cast. The blued
sheet metal core are a prime example of this. But I never considered that ALL or most
all vaulted crosses being stamped instead of cast. It will be interesting to here what
others will bring to this discussion.
