S&L Ritterkreuz Question

As do all "B" types. The 935-4's and 800-4's , which have 13 "dents", were thought to represent the first "B" frames stamped. This one, with 14, would seem to indicate that something came before the 935-4 and 800-4 frames.

Got it! With my 935 having 14...understand. Thank's for again explaining, now I completely understand what Dietrich had to say at MAX about them!!
Appreciate it!!!

Greg,
You need to count, under very good magnification and in the "right" light, the number of "dents" on your 935. I actually doubt that it has 14 (but it might!). In fact, everyone who has a nice-looking "B" with frosting should do the same. The "dent row" diminishes in number (according to Dietrich's idea - which makes logical sense to me) as frames were stamped. (Note: I said "stamped" - not necessarily used.)
Best,
Gentry

Here's the best I could do with a lousy camera??? Maybe I'm mis-counting.
Thanks!!

Great photo, Greg! I am, frankly, surprised to see that it has 14 (but very happy that it does!).

Here's the reverse side as a comparison, hope it helps!!

Thanks!!

Outstanding, Greg!

As I said, everyone should look at their "B" crosses! We might all be surprised at what we find.

The key to all this is having a large sampling of information.
