Grand Cross of RK

[Stan]

When I was on vacation in Spain last week I checked out Weitze's update on 11th April and saw that he had a Grand Cross for sale.

This Cross appears now to have found a new home. What I would like to know is, was it the real deal? Also, what was the asking price? Can anyone post any photos?

(This cross may already have been discussed and I missed the thread....)

Hi Stan,

I actually handled this cross in Hamburg a couple of weeks back, and its fine (IMO).

Usual "so so" standard of construction, and landmark die features.

I remember the cross on that update. I'm sure no price was shown, it was POA.

That is the cross pictured in my book and which I had at home.

Thats even my scan! Interesting!

Any idea how many were manufactured (originals that is)?

[Dietrich Maerz]

There were some marked with "800" and some with "L/12." There were some at Klessheim (from the PKZ), the PKZ gave some out to collectors and to museum(s).

So your guess is as good as mine: more than 20 but less than 100 ... maybe ... maybe not?

Helmut Weitze has now emailed me the price. The Cross is on hold for someone else.

So what was the price of this piece then or is it a secret?

Klietmann´s theory was that about 100 were produced.
