Opinions needed on L/15 SC

[George L]

Up for your review is this intriguing Otto Schickle SC with swords. There's some things I like (detail, pin, hinge, catch), and some things I find questionable (maker mark and placement of mark, very low swaz, and the 6:00 arm that has one point too short!).

Maker mark is on the 3:00 side on the reverse arm and not in the center. Did they ever use a mark like that? Also, is this maker known for a low swaz that doesn't rise about the ring circling it?

What do y'all think?

I won't have any problems with that cross. The mm won't concern me since all other details are textbook.

Hi,
I see no problem with the cross, its retains all the details expected. The maker's mark is located to an uncommon place, but not an issue.
