VtwinVince Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Graham, any markings on this one? Are the swords screwed into the cross body? I have a Wagner example which looks like it was run over by a tank at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 No markings. I have tried to unscrew the swords, they are tightly fixed into place and I am loathe to put to much pressure on them, definitely not soldered on though. Yours looks a beauty and a PLM as well (is it a Godet?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 AFAIK most of these swords pieces were solid body and silver-gilt. Mine is marked 938 on the edge of the 6 o'clock arm and again on the suspension loop. I do believe that some early awards were 'upgraded' non-swords pieces with swords added later, so these would be hollow body and real gold. I wish the PLM was Godet, it's actually a single-sided example from Meybauer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
