Mike K Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yes, guilty, but I did not snipe as it closed at some nasty time in the early hours for me.I never thought I'd see it - I paid and had never had ANY comms from the seller - and he's got 4 -ve feedback from the same time. I ended up putting in a PayPal claim, which escalated to a dispute that I won and received my payment back - only to have the cross arrive very unexpectedly today! Now I have to try and get him his money back, and I STILL have not heard from him!!To top it all off, the cross only measures ~38x x38 mm RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I assume, in absence of illustrative material that you have an engraved OK1?There was no regular army cavalry/train Peters who held that rank. There were multiple Reserve and Landwehr possibilities, so not enough to go by on a last name and rank only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike K Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 OK, illustrative material added for Rick....I like the style of the engraving but not the "shinyness". I do hope a rare cross has not been ruined by a recent engraving (for whatever reason).RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hmmm. Maybe somebody rubbed in gold paint to make it more legible? I agree, AWFULLY "fresh" looking when it should be all rubbed and worn.Well, assuming the Friedrich August Cross rolls can be accessed, that'll tell one way or the other, with a specific date like this. Who knows what the next couple of years may bring out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
