        Hell Gentlements,

        i think there are 3 different sorts of frosting.
        1. Frosting with white simmering (chemical method)
        2. Frosting like it was explained in the makers magazine "Schwert und Spaten" issiu february 1942 in the article by W. Tornow "Technische Selbsthilfe in der Erstellung des EK 2. Klasse" (Technical self-help with the production of the iron cross 2nd class)
        3. Frosting with paint like Dietrich explained


        Unfortunatyly i've not the time to explain all kind of frosting now. Tomorrow i will write my knowlege down for you.

        Kind Regards
        Andreas Wilhelm Wiederspahn

              Yes, that particular S&L is a wonderful example. They come along from time to time.

                Excellent information guys


                I still find this method in which they frosted quite time consuming but obviously the manufactures knew what they were doing.

                I would personally imagine the frosting process in these steps if I were to produce them:

                Frost the frame and beading before assembled.

                Insert core, assemble cross, then burnish the the flats of the cross as they did.
