My new crosses

[Marc Garlasco]

These came today
Note that they are scans and as the crosses are 3-dimensional, some of the details, particularly to the crowns, did not come through. Any advice on how to image them is appreciated.

So why did the wearer mount the 1914 on the reverse???

Marc, your scans are fine once they're tweaked a bit. you should have a tab on your scanner marked settings, preferences, corrections, or something similar which will allow you to adjust lightness, contrast etc.Just play with the settings til you get what you want. Alternately a graphics program with a histogram adjustment will do the job even better. I use Paint Shop Pro 7 because it's a tenth of the price of Adobe Photoshop and much easier to learn.
