By "movable Ring" are you referring to small ring at the top of the cross that holds the ribbon suspension ring?

[skalphunter]

I think he is talking about the loop(eyelet)
skalp

Is this a repair or were they made this way in the factory?

For me it is a repair.

For me it is a repair.

I don't think it is a repair as one maker did this with their EKs, but stopped doing it as the cross resulted as very fragile.

[Montgomery Burns]

crosses would be soldered one sided ,,or on 2 sides with some makers .

this a repair 100%

That is what I thought, the drilling is fairly crude. I would be surprised if it was not a repair.

[pavel79]

for me thats not a repair....
reason is that i saw to "much" of these with exact that .
first i thought also that its a repair,because of the drilled hole,but i saw other crosses with exact the same matching ring......and as i know,even some 1813 prinzen are made in that way
And we talk about a 1870.....sure the drilled hole looks crude,but we cant forgett,that we allways look at macromade pics and at such big pics all looks a bit different than normal

[Montgomery Burns]

here some macro's how jewelers drill holes
