I can see the variations on the top picture clearly but and not quite sure what you are pointing out on the bottom set. I assume that the ? refers to the dates. Would crisper pictures of both help? I'm not sure what the blue and red lines are pointing out. Again would better pictures help?

Many thanks for taking so much time to study and comment

A am going from the asumtion that the 2 crosses were taken at the same time and same scale .
Visualy there seams to be a difference in the center opening and the overall bead height . Not much , but one can see it . Can you measure those ?

Douglas

the blue line - on the left one the bead height is 42 and on the right it is a shade less 41.5mm

red line - about the same 6mm

Does that help?

Those pictures are fine .
The only reason I asked that was ... as one can see in the first picture of post one quit a difference , in one the inside beading does not come in as close to the center as on the other , ... or is the Swastika a different size ?

Ah! verstehen

you are quite correct. I have measured the swastikas and they are virtually the same 11mm West to East. But there is a definite difference in gap on the inside right bead point. On the left it looks as thought the point of the beading has been cut slightly shorter. On the right you can plainly make out the "dot" on the point of the bead point which is missing on the left one. It is just the bottom two points where this has happened. I have tried to show this on the picture

again thanks for your time.
