    S&L KC

    Last found, a flawless S&L zinc core KC, marked 800.
    Can I have your opinion about some paint remaining on the rib (pic paint)

    Are you sure it's paint?
    I have seen a leeching effect on the ribs where they touch an iron core and it only gives the impression of paint. It is actually a heavy tarnish.

    However, if the material is paint, simply put it shouldn't be there and strongly suggests a repained core!

      painting

      Kurt, it is really paint, but doesn't seem to be repainted
      here is a detail of the paint.

          Possibly a "touch-up" to a worn area! Use a UV light at it may show the extent of the repainted area and another option is to study the area with a 17x loupe and look for the edges when the orig. paint might have chipped.
          Regards,

            My first thought was to agree with Kurt on this one. I have photos of an S&L RK at home with the exact problem. It was also a non magnetic core example.
            I'll see if I can dig up the photos.

            The rest of the core doesn't look repainted so it's quite odd.

            Cheers

              C'mon fellas let's help JJ out! The cross looks good to me....early and maybe not so much control but PAINT on the frame really takes away from it. Brian S. ??

                Hi Jujuy,

                maybe it's my age, but I need better pictures to make a clear determination. It really doesn't seem to be too bad, but I would like to see more detail. You still have my e-mail?

                  Check out the S&L RK that Detlev has for sale this week, its an absolute beauty! (if you like mint crosses), however, getting to the point, it has the "leeching" effect on the beading as well.

                  Best regards,
                  Adrian.

                    I was shocked to see it has an extensive flaw in the 3oc arm!!!
                    Detlev has been away for a couple of weeks so I wonder if his staff put this one on the site!
                    Even the description is written unlike DN typically does!

                      Paint ?

                      S&L crosses often have a discolouration of the frosting to the frame... a very usual feature and nothing to be worried about at all. It's hard to be absolutely certain from the quality of the shots posted... but in my opinion, this is all you are seeing here and certainly nothing to worry about.

                        Chris, where you been hiding?
                        Good to see you back on the board!

                          The paint on the ribs really doesn't make sense to what I thought was the construction process. Is it paint?

                          OK, I do see the flaw on Detlev's and it has the same paint on the ribs. I don't think that's discoloration on the one on Detlev's site, but I don't have it in hand to know.

                            More pics

                            I'm sorry, I was away this few days.
                            Here are more pics of the cross.
                            I check it very well, doens't seem to be repainted. There are no chips and It is not oxidation but really painting.
                            It is really similar to the one from detlev but without the flaw.
                            I can send the original files, if some of you are interested.
                            Thanks for your opinions

                              Yours doesn't look like paint or a repaint from your closeup. I'm sure Detlev's isn't paint either if these get discolored which could be an aging quirk to these old crosses from most likely some process in the assembly.
