Here's the reverse of mine.

Possibly because the 'frame' was turned around prior to soldering??DaveRegards,

It is. (No flaws on mine.)GeorgeComment

Hi Dave
My guess would also be K&Q. Two other points you might want to check.
K&Q used at least two different centers, but both have a slightly domed
swastika. That is slightly higher at the center. Also the hindge thru pin is
normally neatly domed on both ends. Much like the head of a metal screw.
It would seem K&Q also used two types of pins. What I believe to be an earlier
type is somewhat flat. Like yours. The later more common type is slightly
rounded off to the sides. Maker # stampings also varied. I once had an
unmarked one similar to yours. It did however have all the K&Q traits.
Possibly one made early on under a big contract.
Hope this is of some help to you.
Best regards
Ken

Here's the follow-up to last night!!
Curiosity prompted me to try and find out the maker of the cross...turns out to be K&Q!
What is a bit confusing to me however, is that it is unmarked (early?) yet has a severe flaw (in this case) in the 9oc arm!
The frame seems identical to those shown sporting the '65' mark!
There is no question as to the cross' pedigree as I know where, when and by whom etc.
Any thoughts at all?

Well, I'll say what I've said before: I'm not certain that all of these marks we see on EK (and RK) rims can be attributed to "die flaws."GeorgeComment

Dave,
you can judge that better since you have the actual piece in hand, but could this be a physical damage? It looks like somebody was putting the cross in a vise or similiar and the beading was pressed flat. How dooes it look from the side?

George I understand!
Dietrich, from the side it surely is a 'flaw'...raised above the ridges and starting below and between them. This is not debris that was pressed onto the frame but is integral to it.
