Hi Greg,
I almost forgot this one. It is a one piece copper. Some sort of painted on frosted finish. A real UGLY one!

Here's a "Rounder"...
Expecting arrival in a couple of days from one of only two dealers that I trust...
It is marked "800" behind the pin. I believe these are attributed to the maker "Rothe" located in Austria.

Rothe
Maybe you can answer this for me, because this has been like a"holy grail" search for me. That is I am looking for proof that Rothe & Neffe actually made Iron Crosses. I've seen many referred to as R&N, usually Meybauers or AWS', but I haven't actually seen one myself. I've discussed with many in the past about the possibility of R&N being a Case manufacturer or a distributing jeweller, but I've never heard or seen proof of any of this. Only my belief. If you have any documentation as to the firm of Rothe & Neffe actually manufacturing crosses it would be greatly appreciated. Not trying to hijack a thread, please start a new one if you would like to discuss this.

Hi Russel,Originally posted by ekhunter
I wish that I had some concrete proof, however I am basically going off of what I have learned here and internet serches, hence my statement that "I believe"... I apologize if this made you think I actually had proof, unfortunately it was merely intended to reflect my thoughts and opinion based on what I had seen to date.

Here is a link that may be of interest....maybe it has the proof you are looking for.Comment

R&n
Thanks! I had never read that thread before. I've discussed in the past at great length on GMIC with the gentlemen there about the same thing we are talking about now. I probed the minds of many a experienced collector for the proof of R&N being a manufacturer. None had any documented proof. We've seen pictures before of crosses called R&N. I think a lot of people have an idea of what a R&N is, but are they right? I bought an AWS(knowingly) from GDM that was being called a Rothe & Neffe. In Privetera's book he mentions a Meybauer as a Rothe & Neffe. The +M+ is interesting, but is that a R&N mark? Who knows? One day I hope to find the proof of this "holy grail" of Iron Crosses. Until then, I will continue to search for the answers. Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated! Thanks again, RusselComment
