    EK1 800 is Meyer?

    Hello all,

    I was reading the following thread:

    http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=556765

    and if I understand it correctly, the cross I am posting has been identified as the maker B.H.Meyer?

    Could that be confirmed?

    Thanks
    Rich

    What is the mark under the pin?

    The core style is very similar to the B.H.Mayers shown in our
    database but the dates are different (different "4"s) It also
    does not have the die flaw on the frame that we seen on
    many Mayers. That brings up other questions. Did Mayer
    use different cores, different frames?

      The only marking on it that I can see is the '800' which is obscured by the pin.

          This cross looks like my blue core here http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...=546184&page=2

          Nice cross BTW Even the 800 mark is in the same spot.

            OK, I've missed something. Could someone please point me in the direction to where these blue-cored variations are IDd as Mayers?

              post #7) to be a B.H.Mayer cross----

                  Similar cores--BUT not identical. The "14"s are noticeably different.
                  Also the frame has the "Long bead" found (26) marked crosses.

                    OK, thanks Greg. I think I get the logic now - using a TR period L/ Imperial to work back. Aside from the differing dates, imo the crowns are not the same either and the frames will probably differ because the post-41 examples will be 44mm, not the smaller imperial size.
