Hi . This is my first post on this forum as I am a fairly new member . However I have to say I have accumulated a mountain of information just from frequenting this site and spending hours on research . The knowledge some fellas posses on the subject of German medals is outstanding to say the least .
At the moment I am hovering around a german cross in gold that is for sale , but Im weary of a couple points that someone may be able to answer .
1. The makers mark on the pin is 30 . Ive seen makers marks of 1,2 and 20 but never 30 . Is this legit and if so who is the manufacturer .
2. The background sunburst and the foreground sunburst is slightly, and only slightly , misaligned at the lower most point . For such a high grade medal I find this hard to accept considering the stringent standards imposed .
3. What is meant by a "heavyweight' version as oposed to "lightweight"
Any help would be sincerly appreciated . Vic
PS I would like to post pictures but my camera is out of commission at the moment .
