Nice one. Here's the marking on my L59.

Are there any other markings on the cross? This is a photo of the pin underside of the same cross in my collection.

Rainer, what makes you say that?

Here is yet another example of this mark -- plus a dot!

Hi kappa!

It's still a nice cross but i believe that the core was repainted.
One can see the remainder of "hardcore-Patina! on the underside of the pin.
It seems the frame has been cleaned and polished.

Meybe i'm not right. i'm interested in other opinions.

Here are two more examnples of extra markings on the reverse.
Left is a SB L/59 with an X and on the right side is a circle.

Regards
Andreas

My opinion is also that the core has been repainted. One can recognize this clearly by the uneven coat of paint with its small air bubbles. Also are within the frame rests of the black color.
