Hello folks,
Here is my example to compare it to. I agree that the example posted does not look correct.

Hey Jody. Any history behind yours?

[Leroy]

Thanks, Jody!

Any close-ups of the markings so folks can see the specific shape and appearance of yours?

Best,
Leroy

Hi guys,
To begin with (Leroy) those are the best pictures I have and those were taken around 15 years ago.

Darrell, I obtained the cross in the mid 70's from a US veteran. He told me it was captured in the Ruhr Pocket and I obtained it and several other awards from him at the same time. The man kept all of the awards in a coffee can and my mother paid him $30 for the RK. At the time I thought it was a 2nd class EK and didn't realize what it was until I took it home.

Regards,
Jody

BTW, here is a blurry photo from 1976 showing some of the other stuff that came from him (except for the SS brassard and the airgunner badge). The DK is a 5 rivet. Yes, that is a P/O badge. Not bad for a 12 year old.

Great stuff, Jody! Those were the "good old days" for sure.....

[Darrell]

Great stuff, Jody! Those were the "good old days" for sure.....

Wow .. I'll say

[Leroy]

Hate to leave Jody's wonderful haul.............but, back to the cross that started this thread.

Could anyone post the markings on an "accepted" 935-4 so we could see differences? The finish on this one certainly isn't what would be expected and I would be a bit surprised if Mr. Baldes didn't already know that. Not having a 935-4, however, I would have to defer to those who do to show us all the points to be be noted, so we can all learn from this.

Here you go.

[Leroy]

Thanks, Dietrich, but I'm not seeing anything. Perhaps it's my computer.

[Dietrich Maerz]

It's your computer - I see it.

[Chet Sowersby]

Dietrich,
I'am in the same boat as Leroy. I don't see anything either.

I just opened with a different browser (Opera) and I see it.

I upload again here, so let "see".

But since the general technical performance of this forum is below acceptable anyway I'm not surprised at all....

[Leroy]

Still "no go" for me. I've re-booted, but no change.

Hi Dietrich, Nothing on my screen either.
best wishes,
