Knight Cross with smothed eyelet ring.

Do you think that there will ever be a clear enough picture to determine that?

Guys- In Gordon's book on p 332 there is a Schickle cross that is attrirbuted to Tiger ace Johannes Bolter. So apparently they were awarded.

[Dave Kane]

Because it appeared in a book!


That really isn't a qualifier...

quallify for what ?? a lot of of junker , S&LS and K&Q were never issued so i guess they don't qualify either.

Aren't all books true? You are shattering my faith in academia.

Does anyone have a picture of Johannes Bolter?
I am not at home to check if there is a picture of him in Gordon's book.

There is not a picture of the guy, just the cross and the notation that it is his cross.

on page 106 from the book "TIGER" by egon kleine/volkmar kuhn theres a picture of bolter wearing his just awarded KC which appears to be a schickle.on page 159 is a studio picture and it he is wearing a different KC (S&L?).nothing unusual about that.i believe that bolters field awarded schickle & oaks belongs to a member on this foum.on page 121 in the book "das kreuz" it appears that
feldwebel albert dubicki is wearing a schickle.

I guess for those collecting RKs, having a Shickle would be a cool cross to show as a different example. Why are these shunned relative to other crosses?

[tony james]

it appears that a large number of collectors perfer knights crosses that are official suppliers to the prasidialkanzlei. so far it seems that schickle only made them for retail sales like the L/12 junkers.its comes down to personal choice of what you perfer.any knights cross that was made from 1939 to 45 would be good enough for me.

Tony, any way to post a pic showing the cross?

One of our members although with good intentions has done a disservice to S+L RKs. So please, do not start questioning the authenticity of another well known variation on this or another thread. It may be thought provoking but not fare to question perfectly authentic pieces.

Thanks!

Huh? I read this thread, did I miss something?

BTW, aren't "thought provoking" discussions what this "discussion" forum is all about? I didn't know there were pieces that were unfair and off limits to question or write about.
