1870 Ek 2

[monfort]

Hi Greg

Thank you very much for these explanations about the "8". I knew about the 9 beads of the crown, but not to much about this particularity.
here is mine:




Another question: what would be the specific points to check regarding the frame?

Thank you in advance

Yours (and mine) does not match the Wagner or 9th bead crosses.
They were made buy a different maker. That could be good or it
could be bad. We do not know who made these and most likely
never will. That holds true for most of the post 1895 Jubilee era
1870s and for most of the 1914s.

I have sent you a PM concerning a way we might get some help with these.
