Hello,

nice looking set.
It looks like a W&L cross so far I can recognize it.

Best Franki

Like Franki said W&L. And indeed in extremely nice condition.

Regards, Theo

Wow - what a shiny piece! Congratulations!
Due to German Laws (Swastikas need to be covered at all times, even at exclusive Militaria shows ) Sellers here mostly cover the swasis with a round sticker. Unfortunately, the paint on the swastika comes off that way when taking off that sticker. I think that's what happened with your cross. Either way - a most beautiful cross you got there, typical WL Frosting. I think it was Robert who mentioned a certain advanced Rhodium Frosting Procedure used by WL that obviously was an excellent method of applying the frosting.
Congrats

Hi!

It's atypicall W&L Cross in very good condition.
The unmarked W&L are often non-magnetic. Is it magnetic ore not?
