    To me (based upon the jump-ring eyelet, they are different crosses.

        No, it's a scan of an original picture - but it looks like an S&L Cross to me (and I might add, to Dave)

          The photo show in my opinion a Juncker cross. Many (but not all) knight crosses by Juncker have the inner corners shaved off to make better room for the swastika. The fake "rounder" has much stronger rounding than any Juncker has.

              It definetely CAN'T show a Rounder (unless it's a fake photo, which it is not)
              I remember earlier discussion about pictures like this were the inner rounded corners let most of the people believe (and correctly so - by examples) that such crosses are most likely Juncker.

                Juncker rings are much more 'shouldered' and broad toward the base...

                S&L Crosses show a little more 'cutting in' at the base and give the appearance of sitting taller....

                  I kind of like what Craig did here - period photographs are a real resource.

                    Thanks Werewolf - I always find period photos to be excellent teachers. Unfortunately, not all of what we see in photos is useful (its as if these guys knew we'd be studying their pieces, and somehow turn away from the camera at just the right angle, or cover an important feature with their hand or a piece of equipment), but in this case, it seemed to be useful!
