Could you guys with the 'eagle eyes' please give me your opinion as to which type of KC is pictured.

Thanks for your input.

I'd hazard a guess at S&L....it is the most common!

[Peter Wiking]

I think it is a Juncker.

I'm with Harry on this one Russell and not only because of commonality but a couple of points....

The 'shoulders' of the ring are a bit narrow for a Juncker and the tips of the arms are quite pointy. Juncker generally softened/rounded the tips a bit.

S&L....likely

It's a period made rounder.

That's it!!! I'm off to Portland, Texas for Christmas...get the guest room ready Gary!!!

Thanks to those who offered an opinion.

I'll explain the reason behind the question.

In December 2004 I purchased a KC from one of our 'high-end' German dealer friends which was said to have belonged to Erhard Nippa. There was no solid providence but some circumstancial evidence which is:

Cross appeared on the market approxiamately 6 months after Heer Nippa sadly passed away.

Cross acomapanied by 2 original wartime photos dated May 1944 of Erhard probably with his parents. These must have come family.

Also an A4 sheet Military biography with a header address in Bellheim where Erhard Nippa died.

The cross is however a K&Q hence the reason for the question.

Thanks for the picture Russell! Clearly, the Cross shown in the picture isn't a K&Q...
