Very nice collection !

[GELIS44]

Wow, I'm speechless!!

What a superb collection!

There are so many nice ones, it's hard to pick out a favorite, but your '123' Beck, Hassinger & Co. is probably the nicest I've seen of that particular maker, and I love the Godet as always.

Thank you for sharing these photos, they comprise a great reference for someone looking to build a makers' collection.

Is the owner of the crosses a WAF member?

Is the owner of the crosses a WAF member?

Very nice collection and well photographed and catalogued.
In answer to the above question, yes he is and an extremely nice guy if indeed it's the same person I'm thinking of.

Hello All...

Firstly, thank you all for the very kind words, and an extra big thanks to Gerard for deciding to post my collection on his excellent website.

Yes, these are some of my crosses (some of you guys will recognise some of them... quite a lot are from the estand over the past few years).

There are some mistakes that Gerard is working on correcting regarding the labeling of some images (The LDO code is used in places where the PKZ number should be), but in fairness, he did a great job for someone who is not an EK fanatic!!

Thank you all again for such kind comments. :

Regards - Danny

some great crosses and photos, would be nice to see them listed by maker perhaps? other than that very good!

[George Stimson]

I really like that manner of display.

Glad people like them & the gallery display for them too. There was a problem with uploading one of the pics abut that and the makers notes are now fully sorted. It is an excellent collection and one or two pieces are outstanding in my view.

I should point out that Danny took the original photographs - I did some photoshopping on them to clean up the backgrounds etc. The gallery design is a Lightroom template - pretty easy to get the hang of (though it's tricky to get it to work with IIS7).
