That's a nice EK Alex!!!

I think the blank cores have a lot of character, and a super look to them, especially an early and worn piece like this!!
Some Austrian vets did buy the 57 version, but many preferred the blank core, maybe they considered it "their" cross, different to the rest??

Thanks Nigel.

I believe the reason that many of the Austrian vets preferred the blank core is due to the reason that they probably were more available locally instead of the German produced crosses.

Yes, Alex....I guess that is true!!
Plus, of course, the earliest blank cores appeared a few years before the 57ers!!!
