Congratualtions. she's a beauty and welcome to the club! I've got a B-core myself.

[ddbinks]

Beautiful cross!

That's a real beauty.
Congratulations.

[Green]

Wauw....beautiful cross

[VtwinVince]

Nice piece, in what appears to be near mint condition. I have a similar one with the side hooks, inscribed to Generalleutnant von Floeckher.

[Willi Z.]

Thanks gentlemen! Your (and Trevor's) collections, and knowledge, have provided me with the motivation and confidence to pursue this new collecting interest!

Vince, I am sure everyone would love to see that cross.

Very nice Willi!

Talk about a textbook example!

Question,
isn't it generally accepted that just 3 AWS cores exist? The crown on this one is slightly different than these. Willi's cross has the short bulbous crown but with very fine beading opposed to the coarse beads shown in these pics.

Thanks
Kirby

Of course the core can't be an exact match to any of those due that those are 1914 cores and that's an 1870.

I'm such an idiot! I really need to go back to work and leave you guys alone!

Thanks for kindly setting me straight.

It happens, sometimes we get stuck with details we forget the larger picture don't leave, we need active members.
