935 4 Rk

[Medic789]

Hi All!

I've been waiting impatiently for Dietrich's book to come in the mail, and it finally showed today! It is an amazing resource, but I still need opinions on this 935 4 that I've been offered. Any opinions would be appreciated. Unfortunately I do not have a good picture of the dent row or the 6/9 arm.

Odd..........that ring/eye looks like it is jumping off the frame!

[Leroy]

Is this really an S&L cross? I've never seen one with a ring that high.

[Dietrich Maerz]

I don't think this is a S&L at all.

I didn't like the ring or the numbering of the 935. The incuse 4 is what is 'normal' but the 935 is not.

[Harry]

You are right to be suspicious. The beading pattern is not S&L, the 1813 date is too low, I think this is one of those so called Latvian fakes...with a fake ribbon to top it all.

[Medic789]

Thanks Harry.

Does anyone else think it is sad that fakes are so popular that they have names?

This 'fake' has been around for quite a while...note the flaw between the 1 and 9!

[Medic789]

Its funny.. Once someone points out the flaws, it is so easy to see them. I guess that is what comes with being lifetime member 86 and years of research. Thanks Dave.

if this is a fake, its not too bad if you get it for $50

I think that I had one of the first of these offered to me around 10 years ago from a guy in Seattle.

The famous 1 to 8 flaw.

A Complete fraud

Hello,
I agree the cross is not original. You can compare it the the original in my collection-big difference.
