[Tim Calvert]

Hey Buddy, if you go to your "Test" thread you can click on edit and then remove the pic of the back. Once you've done that, you can then post it here on this thread (I think).

[Buddy]

GOOD CROSS AND GOOD PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH

This example is a fine example produced by the firm of Steinhauer & Luck, Ludenscheid. It is priced a bit higher than I would pay, but price depends on the individual and his desire to get a good item.

for Bill

Hi Bill
yes I do feel good about this badge.
I have yet to recive it
I have a return policy . And as Pointed out by François . im buying the badge not the reputaion of the dealer.
ZERO TOLERANCE,, learned me that her from you boys
I have spoken on the phone with the sellers & they are aware that if im not 100% satisfide with it,, I WILL send it back.
I will allso send better pixs , that I will take my self so the group my have a better "gander" at the badge

Thanks Bill for the time & interest in this

[W. C. Stump]

YOU ARE WELCOME

Buddy..Just remember that I gave you my personal opinion and with it and a price of a cup of coffee you can get a good cup of coffee. From what I can see from the scans it is a good original Spanish Cross. In the end, you have to decide if the item is up to your standards and the Frenchman was right, the story should come free and the item will speak for itself.

cup of coffie

Gottcha Bill
I respect your opinions,, but Im not an Idiot ( depends on who you ask)The scans arent good enough to make a valid judgement call

But id love to sit with you hear your opinions & stories & drink coffie (id pay for the coffie)
Well maybe coffie & shots of jagermeister

The Bottom line here as I see it.
Is that I cant get a decent scan of the award. Too Bad. So As Long as i can return it, which I know I can.
They( Janet & Alden) fully understand That I will put it through its "Paces". & if not fully satisfide I will return it

[Larry Lipps]

Buddy, although like Mr. Stump I'd like to see better scans before making a final judgement, it appears to me also that this is an original S & L Cross.

[Buddy]

Hi Snigley

I agree it looks like an S &L cross
But I couldnt get better scan
but we shall see,, I dont have software to enhance the scans
Ill post 'em better whe I get the cross
Thanks for the input

[Tim Calvert]

Good Luck Buddy, looking forward to nice pics of it.

Coffee and Jaegermeister....you sound like a good guy.
