But, please let's stay on topic.
Back to the cross in question. Where's the proof that it is wartime?

Can't one of you guys just make your point?

Maybe Dietrich can jump in and help to pin point issues of pre and post war!
I've made my observations and pointed them out.Regards,

So you won't just summarize the reasons for your conclusion here in a new post so we don't have to go wading back through the thread to try and figure it out?GeorgeComment

He has said nothing to back up his assertions. It's "others" have judged it real. That's proof now?Last edited by George Stimson; 10-02-2005, 09:50 AM. Reason: Freudian slip removed, edited for concisenessComment

Perhaps Dietrich could restate some of the information from his article in a concise few statements relative to this piece. My understanding of what has been found is
1. "A" type crosses have flaws at 9 and 12 oclock corner, and to a lessser extent 3 and 12 oclock. There is no dent row.
2. "A" type crosses predate "B" crosses
3. "B" type crosses have the flaw at 6 and 9 oclock and the dent row on the lower part of the 3 oclock arm.
4. Flawed and non-flawed "A" type crosses are wartime, and preceded the "B" type, unflawed crosses.
5. Flawed "B" type crosses are probably post war
6. "B" crosses with non-magnetic cores are probably post war
7. Dietrich has stated the last "B" type crosses with provenance are the "935- 4" pieces. Is this accurate, or have there been "800" or "800" incused relief crosses with provenance?
Beyond that, perhaps there could be more detailed clarification of details on the "B" type crosses that would constitute wartime vs post war.
Also, now that it has been pointed out, does anyone find that flat sided loop a little odd?Comment

Tom, I think most of what you summarized is accurate and I wouldn't have any confidence in an incused SL 800.Comment
