Richard Gordon Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Very nice pair Greg. Any shots of the back to show the pin set-up and marking?Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buellmeister Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Greg, It certainly looks to be a very nice cased Cross. Friedlander happens to be one of my favorite Manufacturer's of these little gems. Very nice indeed my friend!Regards,Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe campbell Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 how can one not love the clean lines,the detail, of this decoration????the mild wear and beautiful patina onthis particular cross evoke someonewho wore this with pride!very nice!joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregM Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) The catch has been replaced at some point in time, covering up the makers mark.Other wise the back is pretty unremarkable. The hinge has the typical dip in thecenter of it that is common to Friedlander crosses but I could not get a clear picture of it.This is my first cased cross. Thanks for the great feedback.

gregM Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 Very nice looking set.What I find interesting is that the cores of the crosses are completely different.If you notice the details of the crown and the also the dates are different.

Motorhead Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 When I'm looking at my 2nd class "Fr" and "FR" your observation doesn't surprise me...a lot of different stampings and a mix of 2 cores.Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorhead Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 They are different makers! But it looks like they shared parts(or bought them from the same company).Have a look at Godet/Meybauer-same core........Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike K Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 They are different makers! But it looks like they shared parts(or bought them from the same company).Have a look at Godet/Meybauer-same core........MichaExactly. I agree that FR and Fr are different more than likely different makers. When it comes to 1914 EK1s, there weren't all that many makers. Of those makers, very few of them used unique cores/frames/hardware. Most of them, in pairs or small groups, appear to have had some sort of working relationship - be that direct or through a 3rd party we'll probably never know though.RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
