Mike K Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Hi Ronny,The cross looks like a nice Meybauer - high silver content. Worn paint on the obverse but at least no major rust.Re the engraving, I'll leave that to those more familiar with engraving techniques but from my limited experience it looks like it's been electrically engraved and possibly recently. Noticed the "dot" pattern to form the letters and the total absence of patina in the engraving. The latter observation is in vast contrast to the old silver content mark which now looks black with age patina.RegardsMike K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronny Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 Thanks Mike,I have tried to take some close up pictures of the engravings, hard to avoid reflections. Cheers,Ronny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I agree with Mike. The style doesn't look bad at all-- from a distance. But the technology is DEAD wrong on this. A perfectly good cross has been RUINED by an idiot fraudulently trying to "improve" this for resale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
