OK, I am going to say S&L with a whacky add-on loop?
Marc -
It does not seem to be an S&L, judging by the poor pictures.
I honestly have no idea right now but I personally think that the L/21 on a detachable loop might not be the final proof for a Foerster and Barth Ritterkreuz...

Interesting! I must agree about the loop but can't help wondering....
We KNOW what it isn't

I agree with Dietrich, this is NOT a Steinhauer cross. I don't know about the cross posted, but the mark on the detachable ring is used for the L/52 Zimmerman and the 21 Godet.

.... one could of course use the so called Kane-Doctrine: "I have never seen one, so they don't exist!"
But that is maybe too easy

I don't recall ever saying anything like that....
Poorly worded or a challenge over some other issue, please, be specific and we'll address it!
In the meantime let's stick with this Cross!Regards,

But back to the cross. Any resemblance, any clues, anything? Surely very interesting!
DietrichComment

....Granted, and rather unlike my general character and purest attitude I like the Cross!!!!
I like it because I (we) haven't seen another one...nor has 3, 7 or even 40 appeared at one time. The patina is great and the core is sharp. My 'GUT' says wow, it could be, and that's why I said previously....interesting!!

Not to chance the subject, but the non-appearance of 3,7 or even 40 and some nice patina and a sharp core cannot constitute genuity, IMHO.
Without the loop and without the source this would (could, might) very well immidiately dismissed as a fake - by strict comparison to known examples.
But that's not to say this might not be the real deal, not at all! How would I know? To what would I compare?
