RK neusilber L/12

[Franco]

Hi all,
The frame of this cross looks like neusilber to me.It was once frosted,now only the residue remains.Under the eyelet is L/12.
The core is iron and unfortunately the suspension loop is missing.Does anyone recognise this type of cross?
Cheers Franco

It looks like one of these:

Hi,
Yes it does except for the frosting.What details(if any) do you have for that cross.
Cheers

No matter what it is in the end - for sure it's not a Juncker and no other pre-45 manufacturer.

[Franco]

Hi,
Yes its probably a 1950s/60s replacement piece.
Cheers

Franco, this thread is heading the way that your '57 RK thread went....these are REPRODUCTIONS, FAKES, IMMITATIONS, COMMERCIAL offerings to fleece you and others of your $$.

They have no 'history' or 'period' value.....mass-produced trinkets.

They are NOT 50's - 60's replacement anything.

[Franco]

Hi,
Yes I take the point you are making.I was implying that a veteran who lost his cross at the end of the war and wanted a replacement,might well have bought a cross such as this.
My reason for placing it in the 50s/60s time bracket is due to its obvious age.Thats all.
Cheers

[Dave Kane]

Franco, this is an 80's reproduction...available in UK from a dealer named Moregi (sp?) for $150. or $160 (aged)!

[Peter Wiking]

Dave is correct. Here is another photo of those fakes.

Yup,
Sure does look like one.and they cost a lot more than what I paid.But afterall,mine is missing its loop.

If you want a good display piece go for a nice postwar S&L. Because those are at least real RKs that don't cost $10K (but not wartime issue).
