The strange Hanseatic Crosses continue, this time: BREMEN

[JensF.]

Today I got this Bremen Hanseatic Cross with a two-ring suspension instead of the usual three rings. I suspect it is a private made example. Look at the different enamel of the center disc and the more vaulted ends of the cross arms. This cross is made from silver-plated copper.

The back is different too. Instead the usual plain surface it is center punched:

The center disc is made with "rays" under the enamel like this rare Godet cross. Maybe the "Bremer" is from Godet too?

Any hallmark on the Bremen cross's suspension ring?

[JensF.]

No, nothing!

Jens,

What about the measurements and the weight of both crosses, just for comparing them? BTW congrats! You have got very nice Hanseaten crosses in your collection...

Ciao,

Claudio

[JensF.]

You'll get the dimensions. Tomorrow...

Bremen is 40 x 40 mm and weights about 16 g.

Hamburg (Godet) is 39,4 x 39,5 mm and weights about 17 g.
