Eric Stahlhut Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 deeply vaulted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) an interesting feature about the vault: while it is perfectly uniform and deep, there is a circular 'dimple' in the center of the arms on the reverse.

Eric Stahlhut Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 the 'dimple' is very similar to the one on this (uncleaned) heavily vaulted example that also has hinge and catch plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obergefreiter Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Eric, do you know who made these? I have one very similar to the one with the narrow pin. Could I get a weight and size, so I can compare them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriztofer Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hi EricI really like the detail on these crowns and the mounting system for the pin and hinge, it's like a reinforced version. Any idea about the hole that's in the frame?I think this is an unknown mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that the hole on this EK1 was probably for the same reason. Edited April 22, 2009 by Nick Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 another example of the curious 'dimple' feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 i suspect this dimple is a result of the vaulting process performed at the factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriztofer Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I've seen this crown on another maker, just can't remember right now which one, maybe F.R. Sedlatzek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike K Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 This is what I refer to as the generic "slant W" core (look at the top middle stroke of the W) and was used by MANY manufacturers. The core detail on this type is excellent. Identifying a manufacturer from an unmarked example can sometimes be guessed by the hardware, but in this case nothing comes to mind. I don't recall seeing the "dimple" feature before, so another variant to keep an eye out for! Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriztofer Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 This dimple reminds me of a mark from a press cylinder, possibly these particular crosses were vaulted in this manner. It would be quite simple to vault a cross with a small hydraulic press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
