Micha,

That is a great AWS, shame the plate is missing. It unmarked only because the screwpost occupies the same spot as the maker mark. The frame appears to be a plated brass one. If it is, it is the first I have seen that was not silver. I don't know how, but you have a knack for finding the best crosses. I guess it is location, location, location! Being in Germany does not hurt.

Micha,

Very nice cross.

AWS liked brass. I have a twin to yours--even missing the back plate.

Mine is brass framed with an iron core. There is no evidence that it was ever plated.

I love these particular crosses. They are truly great works of art. Unusual that both of these two AWS' are missing their backing plates. That Micha does have a knack for finding rare crosses. Good job!
