S&L A Type RK with flaw

[Kyle Harrington]

Whilst not wishing to resurrect the whole debate on this matter, has anyone any idea as to a time period as to the issuance of these flawed pieces:
1941,42 ,43....or 44 on. I know this is highly contentious nonetheless any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks Kyle

Hello

Is there anyone there ???????

It really depends on the amount of flaws. As far as I can tell by the collected data, the heavily flawed were issued around mid-end of 1944. I can't say when the first showed up, but I know that the award piece of Hartmann (Oct. 43) has no flaws. However, so many factors between manufacturing and distribution play into it that it might not be possible to establish a decent time line.

And crosses with a similar amount of flaws were allegedly awarded in 1943 and 1945.

Thanks Robert/Dietrich

What is interesting the cross I am considering has a very minor flaw, 3 o 'clock arm, up top ,nothing else, and no flaws on the reverse, issue date March 1943. I have no doubt about the credibility of the seller.There are accompanying photos which only tell me this debate wil continue.
Thanks gents Kyle
