KC, opinions wanted please

[Giel VW]

Hi guys,

I needed to post this for a friend of mine who isn't here yet. The cross is part of a grouping of a kc winner. Personally with my very limited knowledge of kc's I wouldn't know either it is good or not, and which maker made this cross, altough just the same example is in the DN catalog. I suppose the ribbon is an ek2 one?

Your opinions would be truly appreciated.

thanks
Giel

It's a Schickle. Those are pretty rare! Any award date?

Hi Dietrich,

Many thanks for your reply. Yes the award date is known, but I will leave it up to my friend to post it or not, I hope you understand...

Why couldn't it be someone else then?

Timeline of RK distribution.

Thanks for your time and comments Dietrich

Time line of distribution by maker? Surely there were a number of schickle awardees?

[Giel VW]

Dietrich, I've send you an important pm.

[Sal Williams]

Dietrich can you explain the time line you reffered to?

Thanks, Sal

Dietrich can you explain the time line you reffered to?

Yes I can and I will. And it's fairly easy :

- first you save the picture!
- doing that you see that it's named rk-berg
- being clever, you deduct that this is the name
- knowing your resources, you look up "Berg" in a database of RK-recipients
- you will find (luckily) only 4 Bergs
- now a little bit of knowledge is needed:
- Schickle only produced a very short time
- the cross is not marked, makes it even earlier
- so I took the earliest "Berg", which is Martin (timeline)
- that was just an educated guess, of course

.... and it was wrong!
