Sepp Dietrich 1957 RK

[Bob Hritz]

Yes, my understanding is that they were made for Dietrich to rersemble the award patter he wore. The firma Steinhauer and Lueck also made diamonds as replacements. Somewhere, I have a post-war swastika Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords by Steinhauer.

This is a Steinhauer and Lueck Oak Leaves Swords and Brilliants. I assume it is made post-war as St&L was not an authorixed maker of the Brilliants. Wech of the rhinestones is hand set with 'fingers' holding them in place. The swords are finished, on the reverse.

good question

[Leroy]

Bob,
Is the cross in post #19 the postwar S&L-made swastika version or something else?

[Bob Hritz]

Leroy,

It is a non magnetic type B Steinhauer and Lueck make Knight's Cross. At this time, the research indicates that these are post-war produced, most probably for former awardees and dealers of awards. To date, I have never seen another Oak Leaves Swords and Brilliants like the set on the Steinhauer cross.

I just realized something, I've never seen any of these guys wearing a ribbon bar with anything higher than the RK. Did they not have bars for the Oaks, swords and diamonds?
