Nice looking but does appear the finish is worn...

A nice cross.

I kinda like them in this honest 'surface worn' condition.

But then I would .... here's my Maybauer - the wear is practically identical to the ebay cross.

Here is another--slightly less worn

Would either of you guys post a reverse shot just for kicks?

A big thank you to fdodge for posting these pics on my behalf

The one on ebay at $400 seemed reasonable, but I opted not to bid to hold out for a nicer one. Maybe I should have, mouth's watering a bit at the one's you guys have posted!

Hi,

For interest's sake, if you look carefully at the examples posted in this thread, you'll see the two types of Meybauer core. One type is much less common than the other.

Regards
Mike

Mike is correct of course and here you may see the slight difference...

I wonder Mike if there is any correlation between these 2 core types and Maybauer crosses marked 'PM' versus those with only the 'Symbol'.

Just to throw into the mix, here's my screwback Meybauer Prinzengrosse.
