That is one fine early S&L RK . Can you post a picture of the back of the oaks?

Thanks again

I look forward for the pictures. The quality of these early ones is outstanding. If you look at yours closely and compare it to a wartime issue, you might also find same die flaws on the beading.
S&L are the most commonly found of early 57ers.

About the comment of Henry " one of the most commonly found 57",
what other makers do you know for the 57 knights crosses? i only know S&L and Schickel(without MM but with 800, with 835 and without silver content)
if you know another one, I would be very interested in knowing about its existance

I have only owned and handled S&Ls and a schickle, but I have seen a Zimmermann.

Here is the unmarked Schickle

I could be wrong, but that ribbon sure looks wartime to me.

The ribbon could be worth more than that nice '57 RK!
