Rk - K&q - 800 65

[rfleming32]

I would appreciate your thoughts on this RK by K&Q. It appears to have the characteristics you would expect with this maker. The core is magnetic, the hole in the ring is small, the inner beading appears correct, etc. It does not appear to have the dot flaw on the top arm but does have the small flaw on the left side of the 12 o'clock arm. It is marked 800 65 on the loop but no 800 mark on the cross itself. Thank you, Richard

As far as I can see this from the pictures I think it is a cross made by K&Q. The missing silver stamp could be just an oversight. To my knowledge there was no Neusilber version (and the frame surely doesn't look like Neusilber). A closer exmination of the finer foot prints would make sure whether the pictures don't lie.

A test with SEM would clarify the material of the frame (which I think is silver).

Looks to me like an OK K&Q, I have seen more without the 800 stamp or with an upside down 800 stamp on crosses from this maker.

For my interest, could you post a photo from the side of the cross?

Here are a couple - is there any angle you are looking for?

The edge is difficult to photograph but here is what it looks like highly enlarged.
