I was told that if the inside beading of the inner part of the cross has what looks like cross hatch pattern at the edges , this is considered a design flaw and indicates a war time production . I am looking a an L/12 800 stamped model . Any thoughts on this ? Thanks , Keith

Post some pictures here before you even think of buying it.

Keith, if you are talking about something like the below pic it wouldn't be considered a 'flaw' at all. It is the design of one of the inner corners of a Juncker Knight's Cross.

That said, however...there has been attempts to replicate the 'look'!

That cross looks really well worn, Dave! Do you mind show us more of it?

Ludwig, the Cross isn't mine although when it was offered to me I did take some pics! It's a micro 2 and it had significant paint loss on the reverse while the front was faily stable.
