Steinhauer & Lück, I think it is postwar.
But wait for the experts to give their opinions.

Regards, Alex

Looks like a nice postwar S&L, can just make out the 3 o'clock and knee flaws. It will not please the purists but even these postwar productions have a place in the history of the Iron Cross, even as an example of post war capitalism in action !!!

Take a deep breath and smile.

Cheers

Don't jump too quickly. Odds are that it IS postwar, but never hurts to be sure.

I'd like to see much closer photos.

[Dave Tourle]

Quite right The pics are a little too fuzzy to be sure. Detailed close ups would help in providing a positive ID.

Dave

[Filincars]

Wich details you want to see closer?Please help me.

[Dave Tourle]

A close up of the beading on the lower part of the three O'clock arm, also
the inner knee joint between the six and nine O'clock arms
Search the forum on S&L RK to get an idea of what you should be looking for with regards to the markers for a B type cross.

Cheers

Dave

Based on the presence of the "bridge flaw" in the corner of the 6 and 9 o'clock arms, this is a Type "B" cross. I can't see the "dent row" in these photos, but it may be there.

I understand that this was a grouping from the family of an RK, DK and Ehrenpokal winner, who received the RK in 1943. I would certainly like to know the story of its acquisition in full.
