At last ! an early 25 year Faithful Service Cross

[Steve 5]

Gentlemen, I have at last obtained an early 25 year Faithful Service Cross, frosted with polished highlights a St u L example I presume......although plenty of these are available both at renowned dealers and E-Bay they were all late non polished highlight examples, not what I wanted ! But with patience, chance and luck I scored last week on E-Bay Germany and bought the example I show here for £7...Yes, £7 !!!
I can now complete the set of these types of crosses......albeit I have no "oakleaf" versions unlike Nigel !
Prost ! Steve.

Hi Steve!!
Really nice and early example!!! Great frosting and polished highlights!!
A great set of three crosses you have, a shame many collectors seem to overlook these, they deserve better!!!!
Don't forget......Deumer made these too, so theres lots more to look out for!!!

Oh no ! More to find .....Nigel, do you have any Deumer versions to show ?
So we can see any differances......Thanks for the comment Jeff
Prost ! Steve.

Hi Steve!
No, sorry I don't have any Deumer's
The most obvious difference is in the style of the numerals, I have or had some photo's on file, but I think these have got lost over time!

Congrats Steve !!!
For sure it wasn't overpriced

Lovely examples. I have two out of three TR examples, the 50 year one being just too expensive. These are a really good alternative. A favourite award of mine actually.
