Seen this one on Ebay No 200417622306 at the moment around $200 US.

That one is a fake, or so most people believe. The same frame may be found marked for different makers (65, 20...), or with swastika-cores.Best regards,

Just curious... If that same cross was sold with rock-solid provenance from a WWII Knights Cross veteran, would it still be a "fake"?Originally posted by streptile View PostComment

This thread really belongs over in 57. HERE is a link to a long and involved discussion of this type, found with 57 cores, swastika cores, '65', '20' and 'L/12' marks, frequently on eBay.Best regards,

I failed to word my question properly. The link you provided to the 57 Forum thread answered it -- Thanks Strep.
