Attributed 935/4

Here is the thread I was refering back to......Best Jimmy

Nice cross and a 4 935 is entirely fine. I assume this one has no die flaws but is exactly the same die characteristics as the unflawed early S&L. I like it and believe you have an attributed cross there.

Now if you could just turn on the lights and take a few more photos...

Sure wish Ludwig would put the pictures back up..J

It is said that a wellknown dealer in England has the tools (with die flaws) and had many crosses made after the war (during the 80´s I think) and sold them as originals. I have no reason to doubt this rumour, as the very same cocksucking dealer has tried to sell me such crosses as originals.

Had he a shop in London? If it is the same one he was (sorry is...) also very good in fake Luftwaffe badges.

was it not Forman that had the dies?
I think this had been done before on this forum.

Again, for those who might be interested, the full 6-9 flaw appears on this particular cross.

I have no difficulty believing that Ludwig's cross was awarded during the war.

Nor do I Leroy. And yes it appears to have the full 6/9 Knee flaw,,,,,,,,,Jimmy

If this cross was awarded in September 1943 and if the 800-4 are earlier as is so vehemently proclaimed then I only have one question:

"Why is there not ONE recipient out of the at least 3999 (55% of all recipients) who got a Knights Cross after Sept. 43 with a 800-4? I mean proven!"

Isn't that somewhat puzzling and against all odds?
