57 RKs How and When Did The 2nd Pattern Come Into Being?

Hello
I agree, the 57 RK posted by William is definately an S&L 57 RK. If my eyes aren't deceiving me I believe that there are the die flaws visible on the 9 O'clock arm in the middle photo, indicating that this frame was made using the (all be it by now, very worn), original wartime die.

Still looks like quality piece, silver frame, magnetic core, matte paint.
What would be reasonable price for such cross?

Based on private sales I've seen of the earlier 2nd pattern 57 RKs I'd guess at around €350 - €450, (about £240 - £310GBP). Good 1st pattern ones are changing hands in private sales for around €650 - €750, (about £450 - £520GBP).

Thank you.
The cross I posted is for sale by a dealer at $1000, no case. Seller claims the cross is attributed.
Based on your quotes it's too expensive.

I would think an attributed cross with a bit of dealers paperwork to back it up would add a bit to the value.

To me it's all hearsay.
