Schickle RK with rare core version

[grueni1208]

Hello,

I have an Otto Schickle RK with the rare core version and an 800 marked ribbon ring.

Does anybody have an O.S. RK with the same core version to compare?

Regards

Daniel

I can't pretend to know much about Schickle crosses, but I believe I have seen this same core (with the "1" in "1939" looking a little "wavy" at the top) on some "B" type S&L's. I have no idea what the implications are of this.

Well Daniel, guess i have to thank Herrn Schickle for making such a beauty! Without him you would never have sold me those nice Schinkel crosses. And sorry no, do not have a Schickle RK with that core. Shame on me, hehe.

I don't like this RK at all - in my opinion a fake

I'm looking forward to see other opinions

[Roglebk]

Probably because you never saw a Schickle RK before then Frank, they are VERY rare, to me it looks like a true Schickle.

if that is true there is always the edit button to correct your statement.


Lets wait and see what others have to say about this RK.

Hello Roglebk/Carl,

how about this, the owner of this RK sends the RK to Detlev Niemann for an expertise and if this core is original to D N I pay for the expertise and if its considered fake you pay for the expertise.

The frame is a Schickle frame - the core is not what I have seen so far. (Edit: wrong. I had this cross in my hands!) I also don't think that the core is a S&L core - way to blurry and the reverse date looks different. The milky-white frosting, however, can be seen on some of the Schickle RKs.

Add-On: Here are better pictures of the date and it is my opinion that it seems to be the variation I describe in the book on 153.

Here's what I was talking about .

Gentry,

the numerals are different IMHO. Unfortunately, when I did the book I only had a picture of the other Schickle core so I could never really determine what that second core looks like. However, that core in question fits to the picture and I think that is the one. Since the cross is unmarked it seems to be an earlier one.

I had the cross in my hands during a collectors meeting in Germany some time ago, I can also testify that the core was never replaced. The frame is w/o any doubt a Schickle with the original frosting nicely applied and intact.

I don't like this cross at all.
Has the cross been restored?

Postwar assembled?

Best regards
