Ritterkreuz 57

[mp409mm]

Hi, some time ago I bought this Ritterkreuz 57. During some research on this Cross it seems that there were two versions, the early ones and the later made Cross and of course fakes; Is it possible to know in which categorize /section this cross is? Thank you.

If needed I could try better pictures.

I repeat the thread from "crosses of the Wehrmacht" section................
"Alf, a perfectly good late produced RK from St u L, the so called (by 57er collectors) "D" frame with second core which will be non ferrous i.e. non magnetic, and will off been painted after assembly ! the frames have a bead blasted look/finish typical for these type of crosses,.....made between the very late 1970's/early 1980's to the present day, available with silver frames marked "800" or "925" (marked on rear either below the suspension eye or bottom arm) or with "neusilber" (not silver) non marked frames, the example you show is modern production within IMO the last 10 years as it exhibits the long ribbon loop from this period."
A search of this section will reveal more examples and information on these crosses.
Prost ! Steve.

I agree with Steve, a good "D"- frame.
