Nice cross Robert
S-W, like every big maker, used multiple cores. One of their nicest, in my opinion, is the so-called "Type B 1914" which is modeled on the famous (Godet-made?) Type B 1870 core. I don't know but I I guess this was the first core they used.
They made it in 2. Class versions:
..and also in 1. Class versions:Best regards,

Lovely crosses Trevor,
I especially admire your photography, very 'warm' and at the same time offering the viewer very clear detail.

Nice crosses Scott,
If I'm not mistaken I believe yours have the same cores as my cross. The '3' in the reverse date really stands out on these. Am I close, or are there differences?

Hi Robert, While both mine and yours have the same '7' topped three there are a few differences across the rest of the cores Your cross has a long foot on the 4 and the crowns also contain subtel variations [yet this could be due to casting] and the stems of the oak leaves tail differently. But I do feel that both of my cross's are in fact the same all be it that one is better cast than the otherComment
