Thanks for posting it, Greg. This one looks like Hansen´s pebbled core.

Thanks Miro,
I don't think it's a Hanson core. The date and "W" are different.

There were three cores used in Hansen frames, Greg. Two of them are very similar. Obverse crown is identical, just W and date is different. Here are both (same frame, same maker´s mark). Yours is the second type shown.

Here is the third Hansen core, just for the record.
(In fact, not the third, but the earliest type used.)

Thanks for that
I learned something new today. Would you consider adding those pictures
to the Hanson database thread? ----http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=279627

As I already promised, I will surely find the time to present my Hansen finds, though they aren´t explaining anything, just adding more to the mystery around these nice crosses.
